        Just put mayo on the outside of the bread and use that to fry it up instead of the butter. Plenty enough oil in the mayo

          I like the way mayo on the outside turns out, but it’s a pain in the ass to make it that way and not enough of an improvement over butter in the pan for the hassle

          I do put it on the outside. I like the crisp mayo makes but prefer the taste of butter so I meet myself in the middle and use both. A bothersomely fast metabolism makes up for the extra fat

        Mayo has eggs, oil, and vinegar in it. As it breaks down while cooking the vinegar cooks off, the eggs french-ify the bread, and the oil fries the eggs onto the bread as it turns into toast. It works wonders for sandwiches cooking in a pan.
