Patty Melt Toasties Recipes

PATTY MELTS

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Throw in the sliced onions and cook slowly until the onions are golden brown and soft, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire and some salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties on both sides until totally done in the middle.
• Assemble the patty melts this way: Slice of bread, slice of cheese, hamburger patty, a quarter of the cooked onions, another slice of cheese and another slice of bread.
• On a clean griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and grill the sandwiches until golden brown. Remove the sandwiches and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Return the sandwiches to the skillet, flipping them to the other side. Cook until golden brown and crisp, and until the cheese is melted. Slice in half and serve immediately!

PATTY MELT TOASTIES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp butter and half the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat, and fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 20-25 mins until golden and sticky.
• Tip the mince into a bowl with the garlic granules, Worcestershire sauce and some seasoning, and combine with your hands - mix until the mince has a fine texture. Divide into two balls, then flatten these out into patties, keeping the shape of the bread in mind (you may want to make them more oblong if using a bloomer loaf).
• Scrape the caramelised onions onto a plate, and heat the remaining oil in the pan over a high heat. Fry the burger patties, pressing them down with the back of a spatula, for 3-4 mins on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate, scraping any bits from the pan over the top.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low, and melt ½ tbsp butter in the pan, swirling it around the base. Fry all four of the bread slices on one side, weighing them down with a grill press or pressing down with the back of the spatula so they're evenly golden and crisp. Do this in two batches, adding another ½ tbsp butter for the last two slices. Mix the two cheeses together in a bowl.
• Put two of the bread slices, toasted-side up, on a board, and spread over the mustard. Add half the cheese, and spoon over the onions evenly. Top with the burgers, then scatter over the remaining cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices, toasted-side down, so the untoasted sides are on the outside of the sandwiches. Press down well to seal. Heat most of the remaining butter in the pan, and fry the sandwiches for 2-3 mins, pressing them down the whole time, until golden and toasted. Carefully flip and fry again, adding the last of the butter to the pan around the toasties. Cook until the cheese is melted and oozy, and the bread is golden and crisp on both sides.

CLASSIC PATTY MELT

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.

• While onions are cooking, place a large skillet over medium heat. Toast bread in the pan on both sides.
• In the large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter at medium heat. Cook burgers for about 3-4 min on one side and flip. Continue cooking until done (140F for medium) usually another 3-5 minutes.
• Once nearly done add cheese to burger. Cover to melt.
• Stack up your burgers and enjoy!

PATTY MELT WITH SECRET SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl, add mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
• In a skillet over medium-low heat, add olive oil. When warm, add onions to pan and cook until softened and deep golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. (If onions begin to dry out or look like they're going to burn, add a splash of water to the pan and reduce the heat slightly.) Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a bowl, add ground beef, salt, pepper, and worcestershire sauce. Mix to combine and form into four thin, oblong patties (shape patties to match the shape of your bread). In a skillet over medium heat, add patties and cook until browned on both sides. Remove from heat and set aside. Wipe out any excess grease from the pan.
• Butter one side of each piece of bread. In a skillet over medium heat, layer your sandwiches as so: one slice of bread (buttered side down), one slice of swiss cheese, beef patty, caramelized onions, secret sauce, slice of cheddar cheese, and one slice of bread (buttered side up). Cook until golden brown on the bottom, flip, and cook until golden brown on the opposite side (this should take 1-2 minutes per side).
