What is one unusual ingredient you add to a mainstream dish that instantly elevates it?

This is a super basic one, but when I’m making a quick grilled cheese sandwich I like to add a little bit of chipotle mayo to it. It blends right into the cheese so it’s virtually unnoticeable (perfect for picky children!). It just adds a little bit of smokiness that everybody loves and that goes so well with the sandwich.

@deadmoon kind of similar to yours, but I use garlic powder or salt with mayo for my panini press.

@Levenrack Yeah, you really can’t go wrong with a good sauce to put on a sandwich, panini, or burger. A good sauce will elevate just about anything and garlic or salt with mayo sounds like a pretty delicious option as well.
