   Prepare the Onion

   Slice the onion into thin rings or half-moons.

   Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking. Meanwhile, butter one side of each slice of marble rye bread.

   Grill the Sandwich

   In a clean skillet, place one slice of bread butter-side down. Add the patty with melted cheese and top with the caramelized onions. Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side up. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
