Chef's Notes
Mayonnaise contains oil and eggs, which when applied to the exterior of the bread and fried, yields a far superior and even golden crunch than butter alone.
Pro Tip
Keep your heat at a steady medium. If it is too high, the egg burns before the cheese has even contemplated melting.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Leaving the sandwich in the egg bath for too long results in soggy bread pulp that disintegrates instantly upon hitting the hot pan, leaving you with a sad, scrambled-egg mess.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
They say you should serve this to royalty, but honestly, it's just a ham and cheese sandwich that went to finishing school and got an expensive haircut.
The Culinary Science
The proteins in the egg wash coagulate upon contact with heat, forming a protective outer seal that locks in moisture while absorbing the fats in the pan for optimal crisping.
