Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form it into a small patty.

  2. 2

    Grill the Onion

    In a skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patty

    In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and heat over medium-high heat. Place the patty in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patty and add the ham and both cheeses on top. Cover the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Place the cheese-covered patty on one slice of bread, top with the caramelized onions, and cover with the other slice of bread, mayonnaise side down.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut in half, and serve hot.
