Sourdough Patty Melt
Ingredients
Sandwich Compilation
- 1 Large onion sliced
- 8 Sourdough bread slices
- Butter for bread slices
- 2 tbsp Olive oil for onions
- Pickle slices (optional)
- 8-12 slices Cheese mozzarella, cheddar, fontina, or Swiss
Meat Patties
- 1 lb Ground sirloin
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 cup Grated pecorino romano cheese (optional: parmesan)
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1-2 tbsp Yellow mustard
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat a small skillet with olive oil. Add sliced onions on medium – medium high heat and cook until onions are soft and carmelized- about 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together the meat, eggs, pecorino Romano cheese, pepper, Lipton Onion Soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley.
- Form meat mixture into rectangular patties to match the size of bread slices you will use for the sandwich. Place meat patties on parchment paper. If you double the recipe, you can freeze these in a ziplock bag with parchment paper between each patty to use another time.
- Heat a skillet on medium high heat and add patties. Cook several minutes on each side until heated through.
- While patties are cooking, butter bread slices on both sides.
- Heat a skillet or griddle on medium heat. Place bread slices on griddle. Once heated, flip bread slices over. Add a slice of cheese on each bread slice.
- While the bread is toasting and cheese is melting, on every other slice of bread build the sandwich with the meat, onions, pickles, and adding slices of cheese between layers, if desired. Top with one of the toasted sourdough slices. Keep toasting on the skillet long enough to melt the cheese.
- Cut in half and serve.
Notes
One important thing to remember is not to add any additional salt to the mixture. The onion soup has more than enough salt for the meat and you won’t need more than that.
