Grilled Cheese, Diner Style
RECIPE BY: Dawnab
The mayonnaise in place of the butter makes the bread toast evenly and gives a similar yet different crispiness. This is how they made it on the grill at a diner I used to frequent, the kind where the grill is behind the counter and you can watch. CAUTION: using low fat or no fat mayo or even miracle whip will change the outcome of the final product, the first 2 contain water and the second sugar that does not act in the same manor as an oil or fat sub.

Top with cheese.4

Note: Miracle Whip does not work for this, as the sugar in it tends to burn.

Mayo in general creeps me out but on the outside of a grilled cheese? EEK. I thought poor Dawn had to be mistaken. LOL But I was intrigued and had to try it. The mayo (I used Best Foods brand) works PERFECTLY for a grilled cheese — it turns a gorgeous brown and it doesn't leave behind a mayo flavor. The added benefit is the easy spreadability of mayo as butter is often too hard and will tear your poor little pieces of bread. With this recipe you don't have to wait for butter to soften — you can have a grilled cheese right freaking NOW. This is how I will make a grilled cheese from now on. Thanks Dawn!

Well it's just grilled cheese, but the mayo instead of butter is worth 10 stars. It is sooo much easier and grills the sanwiches to perfection. We made these in a fit of hunger late last night. Shelly made a plain version and I made a couple with cooked bacon and chopped green olives. They were yummy. Don't know why I never knew about the mayo trick before - it's a winner.
