Patty Melt Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onions

   Slice the medium onion into thin rings. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until they are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the beef into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   In the same skillet used for the onions, add another tablespoon of butter and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Assemble the Patty Melt

   Spread butter on one side of each slice of Texas toast. Place two slices of toast, butter side down, in the skillet. Top each with a melted cheeseburger patty, followed by the caramelized onions. Place the remaining slices of Texas toast on top, butter side up.

5. 5

   Grill the Sandwich

   Cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the toast is golden brown and crispy. Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
