The Patty Melt is a simple yet delicious American sandwich similar to a cheeseburger. Instead of a bun, it uses slices of bread, usually rye or multigrain. The sandwich is then fried in a pan until the cheese melts and coats the patty. The Patty Melt is perfect for a filling breakfast.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.

Place the onions on one side of the pan, add the mushrooms, and fry for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and combine the mushrooms with the onions. Fry for another 10 minutes until the onions are golden brown. Add vinegar and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. Then transfer everything to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, combine all the ground meat in a bowl and add the remaining 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. Form into 4 oval patties of equal size.

Wipe out the skillet and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Season the patties with salt and pepper and cook for 4 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes.

Place the mushrooms and onions on 4 slices of bread, top with a slice of cheese, a patty, another slice of cheese, and another slice of bread. Wipe out the skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and set over medium heat. Toast the sandwiches, two at a time, for 1–2 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Add more oil if needed.
