Ingredients
Scale
For the Patty Melt
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, oregano, or basil)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- Prepare the Beef Patties: In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, and half of the minced garlic. Mix thoroughly and form into evenly sized patties.
- Cook the Patties: Using the same skillet, cook the beef patties over medium heat until they are browned on the outside and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Prepare Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, mix the remaining garlic with softened butter and dried herbs. Spread this mixture on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
- Melt the Cheese: Once the patties are nearly done, place a slice of shredded cheddar cheese on each patty allowing it to melt slightly.
- Toast the Bread: In a separate skillet, place the sourdough slices buttered side down and toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Assemble the Patty Melt: Place a cheese-topped patty on a slice of toasted sourdough bread, add a generous portion of caramelized onions on top, and cover with another slice of toasted bread, buttered side out.
- Serve: Serve the patty melt hot for the best flavor and texture. Optionally, add slices of tomato or pickles for extra zest.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a slice of tomato or pickles to the melt.
- Adjust the amount of cheese to suit your taste preferences.
- Try using turkey or veggie patties for a different twist on this classic sandwich.
