Mushroom Swiss Patty Melt
A juicy and flavorful sandwich featuring tender beef, savory mushrooms, and creamy Swiss cheese, perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
For the Beef Patties
- 450 grams ground beef
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
For the Filling
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 225 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 15 milliliters neutral oil
- 15 milliliters Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 4-6 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 slices bread (thick-sliced sandwich bread or Texas toast)
- Butter, for spreading on bread
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat butter and oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add sliced onions and sauté until softened and golden, about 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in mushrooms, season with salt, pepper, and optional Worcestershire sauce. Continue cooking until mushrooms are tender and most liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Season ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Shape into four oval, flat patties sized to fit the bread.
Cooking
- Cook patties in a skillet over medium-high heat, browning each side until fully cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly. Place half the bread slices, buttered side down, in a skillet over medium heat.
- Layer with Swiss cheese, a cooked beef patty, sautéed mushrooms and onions, another slice of Swiss cheese, then top with a second buttered bread slice (buttered side up).
- Cook assembled sandwiches over medium heat until bread is crisp and golden, about 3–4 minutes. Gently flip and cook the other side until browned and cheese is thoroughly melted.
- Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve promptly while hot.
Notes
For a complete meal, serve with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the sandwich in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
