  1. Why is fat spread on the bread different than fat poured in the pan? The sandwich comes out different depending your method here. 1A. Which method do you prefer?

  2. What fat do you use? Butter? Mayonnaise? Some super cool other thing that I haven't tried? Again the sandwich comes out different, both in flavor and texture depending on the fat of choice.

  3. Best cheese and bread for the sandwich?

I prefer mayo, spread on the bread. Any type of melty cheese will work, no hard like provolone or super crumbly liek feta. Any bread can also make a good grilled cheese. I have had amazing Swiss and rye grilled cheese. I also consider a cheese quesadilla a grilled cheese and I make those often as well!

Love duck eggs never had duck egg mayo.

The duck mayo was something we tried making because we both played stardew something fierce and had also never tried it. It's delicious. The provolone was a happy discovery born of "what can we make without going out" but the slight unctuousness is a nice contrast.

I hadn't considered your last point but completely agree

I love eggs, cannot really raise chickens but in my younger days we had chickens ducks and geese Turkey on a few occasions. I have had all of their eggs and they are all delicious.

A nice grilled cheese quesadilla and some fresh tomato is awesome.

One of my all tine favorite meals is over easy eggs and grilled cheese. Break the top of the egg and dunk the corners of the sandwich in the yolk.. It's just amazing.

Sriracha mayo is really good to use, if you like Sriracha.

Ohh I do, sometimes I spice my GCS with red pepper or cumin.
