1
Caramelize the Onions
Slice the medium onion thinly. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
2
Cook the Beef Patty
While the onions are caramelizing, season the 8 oz ground beef with salt and pepper. Form it into a patty and cook in another skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
3
Assemble the Patty Melt
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place one slice, mayo side down, on a clean surface. Add the cooked beef patty, top with caramelized onions, and place the Swiss cheese on top. Cover with the second slice of bread, mayo side up.
4
Grill the Sandwich
Heat the skillet used for the beef patty over medium heat. Add a bit of butter if necessary. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
5
Serve
Remove the patty melt from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve hot.
