Patty Melt Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   Slice the yellow onion thinly. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, and cook, stirring occasionally until they are soft and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Beef Patty

   In a bowl, combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and form into two equal patties. Season both sides with salt.

3. 3

   Cook the Beef Patties

   In the same skillet used for the onions, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and increase heat to medium-high. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Assemble the Patty Melt

   Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and let it melt slightly. On a slice of sourdough bread, layer the caramelized onions and then the beef patty with cheese. Top with another slice of bread.

5. 5

   Grill the Sandwich

   Return the sandwich to the skillet and grill on medium heat, about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from skillet, cut in half, and serve warm.
