 Interesting. Never knew that’s a thing. I don’t even know what happens to mayo when heated. 😂

 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 🤔 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; it’s being used as a medium for frying which is conveniently spreadable on the bread. 
Just heated, mayo is disgusting 😂

 That’s why I’m in shock. 🤣

To me, Mayo has always been a cold condiment. 

But I guess in this case, there won’t be any Mayo left at the end.

 Correct. It is a thin swipe that gets absorbed into the bread. 
You’re essentially frying in a mix of oil and egg yolk fats with a little extra flavoring, and it doesn’t run on the rest of the pan to burn there wasted.

 Mayo on the inside or outside? I’m so confused 🫤

 Outside. 

FYI… Butter tastes better.
