  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'm glad this is of value to someone other than me. Moslty I really liek grilled cheese. Was slightly curious about the science of fat in pan vs fat spread on bread. To my brain, it's shouldn't make a difference where the fat starts, but it does.

Adding in, I think the egg in the mayo definitely enhances the flavor and texture, more that the pure fattyness or another source.
