Patty melt
A patty melt is a sandwich made up of a hamburger patty and grilled onions between two slices of bread, often rye bread. The sandwich is then grilled or fried.
The patty melt is said to have originated in the 1950s at a restaurant called The Rite Spot in Hollywood, California. The sandwich was created by owner Bert Gervais as a way to use up leftover hamburger patties. It quickly became a menu staple and was soon being served at other restaurants across the country.
Over the years, the patty melt has undergone some variations. Some recipes call for the addition of cheese, while others include mushrooms or green peppers. But the basic ingredients remain the same: a hamburger patty, grilled onions, and bread.
Advice
sandwiches
When making patty melt sandwiches, it is important to use the right ingredients and techniques to achieve the perfect result. Start by using a hearty, flavorful beef patty that is cooked until it is golden brown. Then, use two pieces of rye bread, which can be lightly toasted for extra flavor. Butter one side of each piece of bread and place the beef patty between them. Top the patty with melted cheese and sautéed onions. Finally, grill the sandwich until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden. With these tips, you'll be sure to make an unforgettable patty melt sandwich every time!
