Ingredients (Makes 1 Patty Melt)

• ½ lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
• 2 slices Swiss cheese
• ½ cup sliced onions
• 2 slices rye bread
• 1 tbsp butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Caramelize the onions – In a pan over medium heat, melt ½ tbsp butter and sauté the sliced onions until golden brown and soft (about 10 minutes). Set aside.
2. Form and cook the patties – Shape the ground beef into two thin patties. Season with salt and pepper, then cook on a hot skillet or griddle for 2-3 minutes per side until a crispy crust forms.
3. Melt the cheese – Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty while they’re still in the pan, letting it melt.
4. Assemble the patty melt – Butter one side of each rye bread slice. Place one slice (buttered side down) on the skillet, then layer on one steakburger patty, grilled onions, and the second steakburger patty. Top with the second slice of rye bread (buttered side up).
5. Grill the sandwich – Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing lightly until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve and enjoy – Slice in half and enjoy with fries or onion rings!

Tips for the Perfect Patty Melt

• Cook the onions low and slow – Caramelizing them properly brings out their natural sweetness.
• Use real rye bread – It adds a signature, slightly tangy flavor to the sandwich.
• Press the sandwich gently – Helps get an even, crispy crust without flattening the melt.
