1
Prepare the Onions
Slice the onion into thin rings. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
2
Cook the Burger
While the onions are cooking, shape the ground beef into a patty. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. In another skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Cook the burger for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
3
Assemble the Melt
Once the burger is cooked, place the Swiss and American cheese slices on top of the patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese, about 1-2 minutes. Meanwhile, toast the marble rye bread in the skillet until golden brown.
4
Serve
Layer the caramelized onions on top of the cheeseburger and place it between the two slices of toasted marble rye bread. Cut in half if desired and serve with your choice of side.
