Patty Melt Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into 2 patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your preferred doneness.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a separate pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Patty Melt

    On one slice of rye bread, layer a beef patty, followed by caramelized onions, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a slice of Swiss cheese. Top with another slice of rye bread.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the assembled sandwich and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the patty melts in half and serve warm.
