Grilled Cheese with Mayo
Mayonnaise is not an immediately obvious ingredient to add to grilled cheese, but this condiment gives any grilled cheese sandwich a perfectly browned exterior. Try it for yourself!
Servings: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 2 slices cheese
- 2-3 tablespoons filling of choice if desired: pulled pork, tomato slices, onion jam, etc.
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- butter, two small slivers from a stick, or equivalent
Instructions
- Spread half of the mayonnaise in a thin layer on one side of each piece of bread. Set aside, mayo side up.
- Melt one of the slivers of butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Place one slice of mayo'd bread, mayo side down, into the hot, buttery pan.
- Immediately top the plain side of the bread with a slice of cheese, any fillings, and then the second slice of cheese. Put the last slice of bread mayo side up, on top of the cheese slice.
- Let the sandwich cook for about 2 minutes, using a spatula to lift the sandwich and check the bottom. Once it's a golden brown, gently lift the sandwich with a wide spatula.
- Put the last sliver of butter into the hot pan and move the pan until the butter coats the surface of the pan. Flip the sandwich gently and place the other mayonnaise'd side of the bread down onto the heat. Cook for 2 more minutes or until golden brown and the cheesy is melty.
- Remove from heat and slice into triangles, and serve immediately.
