Recipe Summary Classic Patty Melt

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.

Ingredients | Mushroom Patties

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

Directions

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.

Putting an indentation on the beef patties helps them from puffing up.
