Making grilled cheese sandwiches might seem straightforward, but there are simple ways to enhance the experience. One clever tip, suggested by Beating Hearth and highlighted by Pure Wow, involves using mayonnaise instead of butter.
Mayonnaise spreads more easily on bread without tearing, thanks to its smooth texture, and its higher smoke point helps prevent burning at lower temperatures. This results in perfectly golden-brown bread while the cheese melts evenly. The combination of egg and oil in mayonnaise also creates a rich, flavorful crust with a satisfying texture. This minor switch can elevate your grilled cheese into a delectable and impressive dish.
