Patty Melt Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onion

    Slice the onion into thin rings or half-moons.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onion

    In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Form the Patty

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form it into a patty (about 1/2 inch thick).

  4. 4

    Cook the Patty

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Patty Melt

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Cut the patty melt in half and serve with chips and a kosher dill pickle.
