Patty Melt

Classic Patty Melt Recipe - Food Republic. Spaghetti With Meat Sauce. Temperature Of Pork. At long last, a recipe that bridges the vast gap between sandwich and burger! Patty melts are the sandwich- burger of our dreams. Our version of the classic patty melt features caramelized onions, which we quickly realized during our last Brooklyn test kitchen should rank up there with cheese on “burger requirements.” Also along for the ride (don’t worry, we tested it extensively, for hours) is thousand island dressing — a combination of ketchup, mayonnaise and chopped pickles or relish. When these forces of flavor unite, the debate of “sandwich or burger” seems pretty irrelevant.

As great dinner sandwiches go, it is hard to beat patty melts: ground beef, Swiss cheese and caramelized onions griddled on rye bread until they become crisp, oozing.
