Some say it's just a burger on bread... Nope much more. Add the condiments you like.. sautéed onion, pickles, sautéed mushrooms, cheese. I like Gruyère or if I can find it Taleggio but am happy with Swiss, or cheddar and American in a pinch. Pictured sharp cheddar and anchovies. Terrible for my health, but God help me I love them maybe twice a year.

One of my mom's favorites.

I could go for one or two right now.

Love patty melts. Caramelized onions, gruyere or fontina, rye grilled in butter, and thousand on the side.

You're doing it right!

Yeah, man. Oh yeah. That looks amazing.

Almost ordered one out last night, but instead went with a Ruben. Didn't regret it, but I know what I'm having next time.

Looks delish, and Bobby Flay wouldn’t stand a chance in a Throwdown! challenge against your masterpiece!!

That looks great, even more so because I haven't eaten since breakfast!

Way back in ye olde 1980s there was a place in the Houston Heights called 11th Street Cafe. They made a dynamite Patty Melt. I lived about a block from there. There were several times I had one for lunch and went back and had another for dinner. I could get away with that because I was in my 20s and ran 6 miles a day.

A few on the top adds a lot of Umami and all the saltiness you need. Yes, to each...that's the beauty. There's no one way, just your way.

Is that burger sitting on top of a full fledged grilled cheese sandwich, complete with two pieces of bread on the bottom and one more piece on top of the burger?

This has me thinking outside the box for my next homemade burger.

YES, YES, YES!Tese and Reuben sandwiches.

Patty melts are a big favorite in our house !

I first heard of that with a burger ground from a full pound of bacon, grilled cheese sandwiches for each bun.

Be still, my heart...Oops, I think that is exactly what would happen!

I love patty melts, and I don’t normally care for onions. They definitely have to be caramelized.

Believe it or not, Freddy’s Steakburgers has a really good patty melt.

A solid patty melt is one of the more underrated types in the pantheon of 'great sandwiches'

Yes, and Freddy's (Broadway) has great fries, too.

There used to be a food truck built into a short school bus in Houston called "Bernie's Burger Bus." After a while they expanded, and then after a while longer, they shut down. All their burgers had school-themed names.

The "Detention" was a double meat cheeseburger with all the normal fixings plus sauteed onions and roasted tomatoes with two bacon grilled cheese sandwiches serving as the bun.

It was magnificent.
