Patty Melt Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onions

   Slice the onion thinly. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, cooking until they are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

2. 2

   Cook the Beef Patty

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef patty. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip the patty.

3. 3

   Add Cheese

   Place 2 slices of American cheese on top of the patty and cover with a lid. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Assemble the Patty Melt

   While the patty is cooking, butter one side of each slice of marbled rye bread. Once the patty is ready, place it on one slice of bread, add the caramelized onions on top, and cover with another slice of bread.

5. 5

   Grill the Sandwich

   In the skillet, add the remaining butter. Place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is gooey.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
