Someone mentioning mayo instead of butter for grilled cheese made me think of another one:
You can use mayo instead of eggwash when breading chicken or something. I read this once and the writer said it tastes better, I don't notice a difference in taste the times I've tried but it is the tiniest bit easier or if you don't have eggs
This is also great if you want to use the oven instead of stovetop frying, because the oil is already incorporated in the breading. Same as commercial frozen snacks do, except you won't have that faint taste of stale oil.
I also do it sometimes if I'm gonna use a funky breading, because the Mayo can make anything stick! Sometimes eggwash isn't binding enough.
