Here’s a classic, savory Patty Melt recipe—crispy, melty, and loaded with flavor 🥪🧀
🥩 Classic Patty Melt
Ingredients (for 2 sandwiches):
- 250 g ground beef (or beef patties, about 2)
- 4 slices rye or sourdough bread
- 4 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the onions
- Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté sliced onions until golden brown and caramelized (about 10 minutes).
- Cook the patties
- Form ground beef into thin patties.
- Season with salt and pepper and cook in a skillet over medium heat 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- Assemble sandwiches
- Place a slice of cheese on one slice of bread.
- Add the cooked patty, caramelized onions, and another slice of cheese. Top with the second slice of bread.
- Grill the sandwiches
- Melt remaining butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook sandwiches 2–3 minutes per side until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Press lightly with a spatula for a classic patty melt texture.
- Serve
- Slice in half and serve hot. Perfect with pickles or fries.
✨ Tips:
- Use thin patties so the sandwich layers heat evenly.
- Rye bread gives the classic flavor, but sourdough or white bread works too.
- For extra richness, spread a little mustard or Thousand Island on the bread.
I can also give you a quick stovetop version with a melted cheese sauce that makes it extra gooey and decadent 😄
Do you want me to do that?
