Description
A classic comfort food that combines juicy beef, melted cheese, and sweet caramelized onions, all sandwiched between perfectly toasted bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of bread (rye or sourdough)
- 1 beef patty
- 2 slices of cheese (Swiss or American)
- 1 onion (sliced)
- Butter (for grilling)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Caramelize the onions: In a skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (10-15 minutes). Set aside.
- Prepare the beef patty: Season the beef patty with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry until desired doneness.
- Assemble the sandwich: Butter one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the beef patty, caramelized onions, and cheese.
- Top with the second slice: Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up.
- Grill the sandwich: Cook in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the Patty Melt: Remove from skillet, let cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve hot.
Notes
Serve with crispy fries, onion rings, or a side salad. Customize with pickles or coleslaw for extra crunch.
