Discover the secret to a mouthwatering patty melt with our classic recipe perfect for a quick and delicious meal any day
Ingredients
Scale
1 lb ground beef (80/20 for that perfect juiciness)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 slices of rye or sourdough bread
4 slices of Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: A dash of Worcestershire sauce for added flavor
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, melt a little butter and toss in the sliced onions. Sauté slowly until golden and caramelized for about 10-15 minutes.
While the onions are cooking, season the ground beef with salt and pepper and form it into two equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a separate skillet, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
Place a slice of cheese on each cooked patty to melt slightly. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
Layer the cheese patty, caramelized onions, another slice of cheese, and finish with another slice of bread, butter-side-up.
Grill the sandwich in the skillet, pressing down gently for about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Once done, slice in half and serve immediately.

A classic patty melt recipe filled with warmth, nostalgia, and comfort. A delicious combination of beef, cheese, and caramelized onions on buttery bread.
