Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 1 1/2 lbs 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper
  • 8 thin slices seeded rye bread
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard

Method
 

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook the onions for 18 to 20 minutes until deep golden.
  2. Shape the beef into 4 thin oval patties slightly larger than the bread and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the patties on a hot griddle for 3 to 4 minutes per side without pressing until they reach 160°F.
  4. Butter one side of each rye slice with the remaining butter and lay 4 slices butter-side down on a board.
  5. Top each with Swiss, one patty, browned onions, another Swiss slice and a mustard-spread rye slice with its buttered side facing out.
  6. Griddle the melts over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted.
  7. Rest the melts for 1 minute, then cut each diagonally and serve.
