i grew up eating them made with margarine. my wife did too.
we've tried butter and prefer it without. i used to make
grilled ham and cheese on whatever was in the breadbox.
since about 10 years ago i've been making it exclusively on
that one brand of rye and adding a little dollop of bacon
fat, no more than 1/8 tsp, to the pan for each side of the
sandwich.
 

 
These days, I'll use mayo to make a grilled cheese sandwich.
It's the better tasting, nicer looking alternative to butter.

Not for me.  I tried it once with mayo.  Horrible.

 
Yeah, I tried that once and didn't care for it either.  It works,
but when it comes to grilled cheese sandwiches mayo is not better
tasting than butter.

Correct.  NOT my thing at all and I love mayo.  I want the small
buttery taste there for a grilled cheese.

 
 
You must put on much more than the skim coat I use.  I don't get a
tasted from either one, it just helps the bread get a toasted finish.
The advantage of mayo is that is goes on thing and spreads easily
compared to butter out of the fridge.
 
I taste the cheese!.

I don't try to spread the butter.  I put it in the pan, drop the bread
on then cheese and top with other bread.  When flipping, drop more
butter in pan and flop on it then spread about evenly.
