My grandad taught me this trick when I was like 7 and old enough to make a grilled cheese, and it was like magic to me, and is still really, I just thought about it and I really don’t know any food chemistry so naturally brought me to reddit to seek out my tasty answer.

Not a good chemist either but mayonnaise has a ton of fat in it so that should be what is browning the bread and making it crunchy. Personally having tried both I’m still a butter person myself but to each their own.
