A classic patty melt features a juicy beef patty, melted cheese, and caramelized onions sandwiched between two slices of toasted bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 slices of rye bread
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Form the ground beef into two patties and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the patties in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
- While the patties cook, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in another pan and add the sliced onions. Cook until caramelized.
