CLASSIC PATTY MELT

Classic Patty Melt image

A quick, easy, and basic recipe for patty melts. I used Jewish rye bread but any bread will work as long as it's rye. I double the cheese but feel free to use 1 slice per patty melt.

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, sliced
6 teaspoons mayonnaise
6 slices rye bread
6 slices sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

Season ground beef with salt and pepper and divide into 3 equal-sized balls. Shape each ball as close as possible to the shape of the bread. Make an indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and divide into 3 equal portions. Place beef patties into the same skillet and cook until desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, spread 1 teaspoons mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
Place bread mayonnaise side-down in the skillet. Top with 1 slice of cheese, 1 beef patty, 1/3 of the onions, a second slice of cheese, and another slice of bread, mayonnaise side up. Cook bread until golden brown and cheese has started to melt, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip each sandwich over and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
