Cook the patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
