Interesting. Never knew thatโs a thing. I donโt even know what happens to mayo when heated. ๐

Melts and liquefies
Going off the theme here, *but* slather some mayo on chicken and toss it in some seasoned panko or regular breadcrumbs and bake it for super moist "fried" chicken without the mess.
This actually sounds interesting ๐ค using mayo instead of egg. May have to give it a go sometime.
My kid loves it. I've started just doing the top so I don't have to fight with a wire rack to keep the bottom from being soggy. The idea came from Pinterest waaayyyyy back in the day and they used crushed potato chips.
Not just heated; itโs being used as a medium for frying which is conveniently spreadable on the bread.
Just heated, mayo is disgusting ๐
Thatโs why Iโm in shock. ๐คฃ
To me, Mayo has always been a cold condiment.
But I guess in this case, there wonโt be any Mayo left at the end.
Correct. It is a thin swipe that gets absorbed into the bread.
Youโre essentially frying in a mix of oil and egg yolk fats with a little extra flavoring, and it doesnโt run on the rest of the pan to burn there wasted.
