Patty Melt Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onions

   Slice the medium onion into thin rings. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, sauté until they are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

2. 2

   Form the Patty

   While the onions are cooking, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form it into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Patty

   In the same skillet, push the onions to one side and add the beef patty. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Place the Swiss cheese on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4. 4

   Assemble the Patty Melt

   Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of marble rye bread. On the non-mayo side, layer the sautéed onions, followed by the cheeseburger patty. Top with the other slice of bread, mayo side out.

5. 5

   Grill the Sandwich

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the sandwich. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Serve

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