Patty Melts with Charred OnionsRay Kachatorian

This is one of my favorite burgers. The charred onions develop a deep sweetness that perfectly counterbalances the earthy, slightly sour character of the rye bread and the nutty flavor of the Swiss cheese. This is a first-class knife-and-fork burger that you will want to eat again and again.

The Game Plan:
  • Set up grill for direct grilling over high heat
  • Shape meat into patties; refrigerate until ready to grill
  • Slice onions and cheese
  • Melt butter than brush onto bread slices
  • Grilling time: 8-10 minutes
  • DON'T FORGET: Try to shape the burger patties to fit the bread slices, but don't handle the meat too much (they don't have to be perfect).
