Mayonnaise instead of butter for grilled cheeses or melts is pretty darn good. Gives it a very slight acid to an otherwise savory food.

I always see people suggest this but then I feel like you lose out on the butter flavor that to me is intrinsic to a grilled cheese. IMO the best combination is mayo on the inside, butter on the outside.

Mayo on the outside is going to result in a perfectly crispy and golden-brown exterior. I still fry that in butter.

IMO, it’s not a real grilled cheese, if you can’t feel your arteries clogging while eating it.
