- Peel and then thinly slice 1 yellow onion into strips.
- Melt 3 Tbsp butter in the warm skillet.
- Add the onion slices to the melted butter and then stir to coat the onions in butter.
- Season with salt and pepper if desired, and then stir with a spatula often to prevent burning.
- Cook the onions until they are slightly browned and translucent.
- Transfer the fried onions to a bowl and then set aside.
Make the Burger Patty's
- Preheat the oven to BROIL.

- Place the burger patties onto the baking sheet, and then place the baking sheet into the oven and cook until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the baking sheet with the cooked burgers from the oven and then place it onto a potholder to cool.
Assemble the Patty Melts
- Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Butter one side of a piece of bread and then place it onto the warm griddle butter-side-up, do this for as many pieces of bread that will fit on the griddle.
- When the bread is toasted, flip the bread with a spatula and then lay a slice of cheese onto it.
- Place a cooked burger patty onto the sliced cheese on the toasted bread.
- Measure 1 tsp fried onions and then place them onto the patty, spreading them out evenly.
- Place another piece of cheese onto the fried onions, and then using a spatula, flip a slice of toasted bread, toasted side down, onto the sliced cheese and then continue to toast the Patty Melt until both outer sides are fully toasted.
- Remove the Patty Melt from the griddle with a spatula, place on a platter, and then continue to cook and plate the rest of the sandwiches.
- Finally, serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
