Patty Melt

A classic American diner sandwich — beef patty with caramelised onions and swiss on rye. Caramelising the onions over medium-low heat for the full 30 minutes, and shaping the patty into an oval to match the bread, are both what make this taste like a proper diner patty melt rather than just a burger on toast.
