This was my first time trying a patty melt sandwich, and it's amazing. Two smashed patties, two kinds of cheese and grilled onions between slices of bread, that's it.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices sandwich bread (white, rye or sourdough, whatever you want)
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 2 slices Dutch Gouda cheese
  • 200 g (2 × 100 g) ground beef
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced into rings
  • to season salt and pepper, generously

Method

  1. 1

    Add two slices of American cheese to one slice of bread and two slices of Gouda to the other.

  2. 2

    Weigh two balls of ground beef, 100 g each. Season generously with salt and pepper and roll the balls through the seasoning.

  3. 3

    Thinly slice an onion into rings.

  4. 4

    Get a good pan, preferably cast iron, ripping hot.

  5. 5

    Smash the two beef balls down into patties and let them develop a nice crust, about a minute.

  6. 6

    Season again in the pan, add the sliced onions on top of the patties and flip them around.

  7. 7

    After a few minutes, add the patties to the sandwich.

  8. 8

    Grill the sandwich on both sides for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Look at that juiciness.
