Ingredients
Scale
For the Patty Melt:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for the juiciest patty)
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter (plus more for grilling)
- 4 slices rye bread (or sourdough for a twist)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional for extra flavor)
For the Truffle Parmesan Loaded Fries:
- 1 bag frozen French fries (or fresh if you prefer)
- 1–2 tablespoons truffle oil (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt, to taste
- Optional: Truffle mayo or aioli for dipping
Instructions
Step 1: Caramelize the Onions
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add the sliced onions.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until they turn golden brown and caramelized. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Beef Patties
- Form the ground beef into two equal-sized patties, slightly larger than your bread slices.
- Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce if using.
- In the same skillet, cook patties over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through but still juicy. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Patty Melts
- Butter one side of each slice of rye bread.
- On the non-buttered side, layer Swiss cheese, a beef patty, caramelized onions, and another slice of cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side out.
- Grill the sandwiches in the skillet over medium heat until the bread is crispy and golden, and the cheese is melty—about 3 minutes per side.
Step 4: Make the Truffle Parmesan Loaded Fries
- Cook the fries according to package instructions until golden and crispy.
- Once hot out of the oven, toss them with truffle oil, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- Plate the patty melts with a generous side of truffle fries. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces—think truffle mayo, ketchup, or even a little spicy mustard for the melts!
