Ingredients for Chorizo Patty Melt

Method

Directions for Chorizo Patty Melt

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomato Gravy

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tomato Sauce

    Pour in the tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until it thickens.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chorizo Patty

    In a bowl, combine the chorizo sausage (remove casing if necessary) and shape into patties.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chorizo Patties

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo patties for about 5 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Melt

    Slice the baguette in half and place the cooked chorizo patty on one half. Layer the three cheeses (Valdeon, Mahon, Idiazabal) on top of the patty.

  6. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the open baguette under a broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, place the other half of the baguette on top, and serve with the tomato gravy on the side.
