What is a Patty Melt?
A patty melt is a meaty, tasty that is fried to perfection with caramelized onions. The combination of the two burger patties and onions are placed between toasted bread to make a patty melt.
Is a Patty Melt the same as a Cheeseburger?
It is similar to a cheeseburger but it is just what you grew up calling it. This patty melt has been made in restaurants since the 1970s and still enjoyed today.
Ingredients:
- Sourdough Bread
- Ground Beef
- White Onion, sliced
- Butter
- Slices Swiss Cheese
How to Make Patty Melt on a Blackstone Griddle:
- Preheat the Blackstone Grill over medium high heat. Divide the ground beef into 2 even balls (approximately 3 oz each).
- Butter one side of each piece of the sourdough bread with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- Melt the remaining butter on one side of the griddle. Then top the melted butter with the sliced onions. Sauté the onions in the butter until they are caramelized (3-5 minutes).
- While the onions are cooking, place the ground beef on the grill. Put a piece of parchment paper on top of the beef and use a spatula or a burger press to smash the meat into 2 thin patties. Season with salt and pepper and garlic powder.
- Let the patties cook until they are golden browned and crispy (2-3 minutes). Then flip the patties over (do not smash) and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until it is also browned and crispy.
- Place a piece of the Swiss cheese on each patty.
- Put the bread on the blackstone grill butter side down and toast the bread.
- Then assemble the sandwich. Place one piece of the bread on a plate (toasted side down), top with 1 of the patties, half of the fried onions, then the remaining patty, the rest of the grilled onions and top with the 2nd piece of bread slice (toasted side on top).
- Cut in half and the patty melt is ready to serve and enjoy!
Patty Melt Blackstone Tips:
- Bread Type – Make sure to use rye bread, sourdough bread or artisan bread for this recipe. White bread will fall apart if used in this recipe.
- Caramelizing Onions – When cooking the onions, let the onions cook slowly to enhance the flavor.
- Cooking Meat – We recommend cooking the meat in the buttery onion flavor for enhancing the flavor.
Substitutions and Additions:
- Change the Cheese – You can easily use any of your favorite types of cheese in this recipe if you do not like Swiss Cheese.
- Bread – You can use a variety of different bread. Just as long as it is a good think bread.
- Add Dressing – For added flavor, top the sandwich with mustard or mayonnaise.
What to Serve with a Patty Melt?
How to Store:
These patty melts are best served fresh. If you do have leftovers, I would store the hamburger and onions separately from the bread. Place in a air tight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
How to Reheat:
Reheat patty melt in the microwave or on the Blackstone Griddle if you want to toast some more bread.
