For the Pattie Melt

Method

Cooking the Patties and Onions

1

Prepare the Onions

Slice the onion into thin rings. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, sautéing until they are caramelized, about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

2

Form the Patties

In a bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, then form into two equal patties.

3

Cook the Patties

In the same skillet used for the onions, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and heat over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Assembling the Pattie Melt

4

Toast the Bread

While the patties are cooking, toast the rye bread until golden brown.

5

Assemble the Melt

Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and let it melt slightly. On two slices of toasted rye bread, place the patties with melted cheese, top with sautéed onions, and cover with the remaining slices of bread.

6

Grill the Sandwich

Return the assembled sandwiches to the skillet and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is crispy and golden brown.
