Cook the Patties
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the beef patties for about 4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
