Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large yellow onion
- 8 slices rye or sourdough bread
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix lightly, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 2
Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into thin patties slightly larger than the bread slices. Set aside.
Step 3
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties, 2 at a time, for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the patties and set them aside on a plate.
Step 5
Butter one side of each slice of bread with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of 4 slices.
Step 6
Place one slice of cheddar cheese and one slice of Swiss cheese on the mayonnaise side of each prepared slice, followed by a cooked burger patty, a generous spoonful of grilled onions, and then another slice of bread, buttered side facing up.
Step 7
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Step 8
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious patty melt with grilled onions!
