1
Prepare mayo and bread
Spread mayonnaise on one side of each rye bread slice and set aside.
2
Caramelize onions
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add the sliced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 8–10 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
3
Season the patty
Form the ground beef into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
4
Cook the patty
In a skillet over medium heat, sear the seasoned patty until browned on the bottom, about 3–4 minutes per side for medium, flipping once. Remove from heat.
5
Assemble the melt
Place one slice of bread mayo-side-down on the skillet. Layer with Swiss cheese, the cooked patty, and caramelized onions. Top with the remaining cheese if desired, then place the second bread slice on top, mayo-side-out.
6
Grill the sandwich
Cook until the bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, pressing lightly and flipping once if needed, about 2–4 minutes per side.
7
Rest and serve
Remove from pan, let rest for 1–2 minutes, then slice in half and serve hot.
