Patty Melt Recipe
Ingredients
1/2 lb ground beef (formed into 2 thin patties)
4 slices rye or sourdough bread
1 large onion, sliced
4 slices Swiss cheese
2 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Caramelize Onions: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onions until soft and brown (about 15 minutes). Remove and set aside.
Cook Patties: Season beef with salt and pepper. Cook patties in the same skillet for 3 minutes per side until browned. Remove them.
Assemble: Butter one side of each bread slice. Place two slices, butter-side down, in the skillet. Top each with a cheese slice, a patty, onions, another cheese slice, and the remaining bread (butter-side up).
Grill: Toast until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts perfectly, about 3 minutes per side.
