🍔🧀 Classic Patty Melt Recipe 🥪
A diner favorite, this classic patty melt features juicy beef patties, melted cheese, and caramelized onions between crispy toasted bread.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 large onion, thinly sliced
8 slices rye bread
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 slices cheddar cheese
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Caramelize Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized. Set aside.
Form Beef Patties: Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions. Shape into patties, slightly larger than the bread slices. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
Cook Patties: In the same skillet, cook patties over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
Assemble Melts: Butter one side of each rye bread slice. On the unbuttered side, place a slice of cheddar, a beef patty, caramelized onions, a slice of Swiss, and another bread slice (buttered side out).
Grill the Melts: Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill each sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Serve: Slice in half and serve hot with pickles or your favorite side.
