A New Way to Use Mayonnaise

Grilled egg salad sandwich using Mayo instead of butter. 
In this morning's News and Observer there was an interesting article about the many ways to use mayonnaise in the summer.  The article was actually reprinted from the Chicago Tribune. Mayo is my favorite condiment, and being from the south, Duke's Mayo is the only one for me.  The article mentions many different sauces that can be made from Mayo, but what I didn't know is that Mayo can be used instead of butter when making grilled sandwiches.

And sure enough, it is so much better than butter and so easy too.  For lunch, I grilled an egg salad sandwich using Mayo for grilling.  The Mayo spreads so easily across the bread, and with all the oil in Mayo, it browns perfectly. 

I spread one side of the sandwich with Mayo and placed it into a hot cast iron frying pan.  While that side was browning I spread the other side with Mayo and then flipped the sandwich over.  Voila, a perfectly grilled sandwich.  So easy!!!!
Spread Mayo on the outside of the sandwich. 

Grill in a cast iron pan.  

It browns so beautifully. 

A perfect grilled egg salad sandwich. 
The next time I grill chicken I shall use this technique as well.  Or even when grilling vegetables this will work nicely.
