Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the onion thinly and chop it into smaller pieces if desired. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In the same skillet, using the bacon grease, add the sliced onions. Sauté until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Patty Melt

    Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the non-mayo side, layer bacon, sautéed onions, Swiss cheese, and American cheese. Top with another slice of sourdough, mayo side up.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and grill the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

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