Description

This Double-Decker Patty Melt Grilled Cheese delivers a satisfying crunch with two juicy beef patties, caramelized onions, and melted Swiss cheese sandwiched between slices of buttery rye bread.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices thick-cut rye bread
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 large yellow onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Caramelized Onions by cooking sliced onions slowly until deep golden brown, then mixing with Worcestershire and mustard.
  2. Form and Season the Beef Patties by shaping ground beef into four ¾-inch patties with a center dimple and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the Patties to Medium by searing in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches by stacking bread, cheese, onions, and two patties per sandwich to create a double-decker structure.
  5. Butter and Grill the Exterior by spreading butter on outer bread slices and cooking in a skillet until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  6. Rest and Serve by letting the sandwiches sit for 3-5 minutes before slicing diagonally.
