“deli” is literally American deli + sodium citrate as a stabalizer. It’s deli with 1 added ingredient. 😬

Glad to read that. That was by far the less wrong option, still pass I think, but it's basically oil with a bit of egg so I'm not really sure why I find it so weird. I might brush a bit of egg on the bread for my next toasties, tho, that doesn't weird me out unlike spreading mayonnaise on the outside of a sandwich.

I do both sides toasted with mayo. Lightly at first on the "inside" flip them over and put the cheese on the hot bread, let the sides toast a few seconds then put together and flip as necessary. But you gotta make sure the mayo has toasted into the bread, so don't use too much. It's not a Monte Cristo!

If it's real, it should be colby and jack, not cheddar. That said, you can add sodium citrate to basically any meltable cheese to give it the same quality - as that's how they make it (from coldy and jack) :)

Thank you!

Thanks for this. I'll check out the deli and see what I can find.

I think I'll agree with your third paragraph regardless.
