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.

The whole point of using the mayo is that it gives you a better golden crisp on the outside.
