Jauronimo Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Mayo is easy since its spreadable at any temp but you don't get as good a crust as you do when using butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 You mean between the bread and the cheese? Nothing. I do put butter on the outsides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Butter all the way. Cheddar cheese should be your only choice. Here's the magic though, shred some of the cheddar and press it to the butter on the outside of the bread before cooking. Makes a caramelized, crunchy cheese on the outside of the sandwich not unlike what you get on the ends of a Bocce Club pizza. You'll thank me later.

I like some good ol' fashioned 'Merican cheese in my grilled cheese. You can't beat the meltability. I mix it with other cheeses like cheddar, provolone, jack, even swiss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBBills Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I use either or, Mayo when I add more to my grilled cheese like a thin sliced roasted beef. I use Butter for just straight up grilled cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it with some Gouda and some Jack, and of course some mayo as the base. It was damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I've never even considered the possibility of making a grilled cheese with mayo instead of butter. It sounds gross; yet I am still oddly intrigued. Good mayo can have that effect on a man...... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would use butter, my wife would spray some PAM on it and call it a day. I’m not sure if it’s a enough to keep the kids from eating it, but it will not quite make the gourmet joint’s menu.

RaoulDuke79 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 The first one I find in the fridge. Im no grilled cheese aficionado, but i haven't had one jump out as a clear favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I am a certified grilled cheese expert of the highest order. I go butter, and have never found mayo to produce a superior sandwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Always butter, but like @Simon, I am intrigued by the mayo. I plan ahead and take the butter out of the fridge early in the day so it's spreadable by the time I make the sammiches. I also like to pan sear pieces of ham and add thinly sliced tomato to my grilled cheese. American and cheddar (on the same sandwich) are my go to cheeses. Love me some nice tomato soup, but I have also been known to dip my grilled cheese sandwiches in ketchup. Don't be a hater and don't knock it till you try it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 A better debate would be if it’s a “toasted” or “grilled” cheese. Butter or Mayo. No debate at all. The others have spoken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritBill Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Always butter as cheese doesn’t provide nowhere near enough cholesterol. Edited September 24, 2022 by BritBill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Butter for sure. I like to bake mine in the oven. Superior crispness and a good melt. Only issue, they aren’t squished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
