Patty Melt Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onion

   Slice the onion thinly. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Patty

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form it into a patty. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Top the patty with two slices of American cheese and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

3. 3

   Assemble the Melt

   Butter one side of each slice of rye bread. On a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, place two slices of rye bread, buttered side down. Place the cheeseburger patty on top of one slice, followed by the caramelized onions. Top with another slice of rye bread, buttered side up.

4. 4

   Grill the Patty Melt

   Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to ensure the filling stays intact.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove from the skillet, cut in half, and serve hot with your favorite sides.
