The mayo tip that comes to mind that is not mentioned is to use Kewpie mayo. It’s just better than other mayo I’ve used (but Duke’s is good too). I didn’t know until I just looked it up now but it has some MSG (good thing) and uses egg yolks. I picked some up at Costco and I’m fully converted.
For the tips on making homemade mayonnaise, I would skip all of what this article says and just use an immersion blender to simplify things. I don’t have to wait for my ingredients to come to room temperature and the blending cup it comes with has the measurements etched on the side so I know how much oil I’ve added. I’ve never had a problem and it takes about 2 minutes or less this way. Also, rather than using it to toast a grilled sandwich, I’d rather dip my grilled cheese sandwich (grilled with butter) in garlic mayonnaise.
I think this would also be good for a toasted peanut butter and bacon sandwich. I also think it would be good for a toasted peanut butter and tomato sandwich.
Mix the first four ingredients together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let it sit until it gets foamy, about 5 minutes. Then add the olive oil and salt. Turn the mixer on low (with dough hook) and slowly add the flour. When it starts coming together, turn it up to medium low and let it go maybe 5 minutes or so, until the dough is pretty smooth and it’s cleaned itself off the sides of the bowl.
Put in a bowl, cover and let rise in a warm spot for 90 minutes.
Melt the butter and put half of it in a 9x13 pan.
Punch the dough down and shape it into a rectangle to fill the pan. Put it in the buttered pan and cover with another tbsp of melted butter. Cover and let rise another hour.
Preheat oven to 475 F.
Uncover the dough, and if you want, you can score the dough with a knife to make little indentations showing you where to cut later.
Bake until it’s golden across the top, about 13-15 minutes.
Immediately brush with the remaining melted butter. Then use as much topping as you’d like.
The topping was about 1.5 tbsp of Parmesan, 1/2 tbsp onion powder, a tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1/2 tsp basil. This makes what ended up being too much topping, so I’d reduce everything a little or just don’t use the whole thing.
Make sure the pan is hot and there is fat in the pan and don’t move the toast until a crust has formed.
Stuff sticks more in a cold pan. As the pan heats the metal expands, any tiny pits in the pan get filled in with slightly expanded metal, any remaining spots are filled in with oil/butter. If you let the food sit longer it’ll release easier. Honestly, if you are sticking try waiting 30s, normally that will help.
Or carbon steel if you have the money and struggle with the weight of cast iron. I still have one non stick pan, but find carbon steel works very well for pancakes french toast and crepes.
