Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds ground beef (80 percent lean)
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
8 slices rye bread
About 1/2 pound sliced Swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft and golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Mix the ground meat with the ketchup, Worcestershire, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Form the meat into 4 oblong patties in the approximate size and shape of the bread (they should be a little less than 1/2-inch-thick).
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until the foam subsides. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until cooked to medium doneness, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Add salt and pepper, if desired. Transfer to a plate.
  • Wipe the skillet clean. Butter one side of half of the bread slices, then place them butter-side down in the skillet. Add a slice of cheese on top of each slice of bread, then add the patties and onions. Lay one more slice of cheese on top of the onions, then add the top slices of bread. Butter the top of the bread. Flip the sandwiches and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Cook the remaining sandwiches with the remaining butter in the same manner.
  • Cut the patty melts in half and serve immediately.

A quick, easy, and basic recipe for patty melts. I used Jewish rye bread but any bread will work as long as it's rye. I double the cheese but feel free to use 1 slice per patty melt.

ST. PATTY MELT

If you think substituting braised greens for the patty is crazy, you're not alone, because that's what I thought. Then I tried it and was treated to one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches of my life. Even if you never use these greens to make a grilled cheese sandwich, you should still master this recipe to serve as a side to meat, with pasta, or scrambled into some eggs. This stuff is just shockingly delicious. I served mine with radishes and cornichons.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch Lacinato kale
1 bunch mustard greens
10 tablespoons Irish butter, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup sliced green onions, white and light green parts only
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
8 thick slices French bread
1 (8 ounce) package Irish white Cheddar cheese, sliced

Steps:

  • Remove tender, leafy parts of kale and mustard greens from their tough stems and place in a large bowl. Cover with cold water and wash greens, allowing dirt to sink to the bottom. Transfer greens into a colander or strainer to drain thoroughly.
  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add drained kale and mustard greens, using a spatula to make sure they are immersed. Bring back to a boil; cook until barely tender and not soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool until easily handled.
  • While greens are cooling, heat 3 tablespoons butter in a pan over medium heat. Saute garlic, green onions, and salt until they soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in black pepper and cayenne.
  • Squeeze water from cooled greens and chop. Add greens to the pan and continue to cook and stir until just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Remove from heat and stir in rice vinegar.
  • Heat about 2 tablespoons butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Add 2 slices French bread; place 1/4 of the Irish Cheddar cheese on top. Place about 1/2 cup of braised greens on 1 slice of bread; top with remaining bread slice, cheese side-down. Cook, flipping as needed, until surface is golden brown and crisp, cheese is melted, and greens are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Repeat with remaining bread, cheese, and greens. Remove to a cutting board, slice in half at a slight angle, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for thick-cut rye bread, thinly sliced corned beef, and aged Swiss cheese.
  • Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the bread to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
  • Cook the corned beef over medium heat until it is heated through. This will help to prevent the corned beef from becoming tough.
  • Place the cheese on the corned beef and put the sandwich in a panini press or a hot skillet until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides, such as potato chips, coleslaw, or a pickle.

Conclusion:

The St. Patty Melt is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its combination of savory corned beef, melted Swiss cheese, and tangy sauerkraut, the St. Patty Melt is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
