Description

This Mustard Horseradish and White Cheddar Patty Melt is a flavorful twist on the classic patty melt, featuring tangy mustard and spicy horseradish spread with rich white cheddar cheese and caramelized onions on rye bread. Perfectly pan-toasted to golden perfection, this sandwich combines savory beef patties with creamy, melted cheese and sharp condiments for an irresistibly tasty meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 oz white cheddar cheese, sliced
  • 8 slices rye bread
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Condiments & Seasoning

  • 1/4 cup mustard
  • 1/4 cup horseradish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prepare for caramelizing the onions and cooking the patties.
  2. Caramelize Onions: Add the thinly sliced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and caramelized, which will take about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Mix Spread: While the onions cook, combine 1/4 cup mustard and 1/4 cup horseradish in a small bowl to create the tangy spread for the sandwiches.
  4. Prepare Bread: Spread the mustard and horseradish mixture on one side of each slice of rye bread evenly.
  5. Assemble Cheese Layer: Place half of the bread slices on a clean surface, spread-side up, and layer them with the slices of white cheddar cheese.
  6. Season and Form Patties: In a separate bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper, then shape the beef into patties sized to fit the bread slices.
  7. Cook Patties: Using the same skillet, cook the beef patties over medium heat until browned on both sides and fully cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  8. Build Patty Melts: Place the cooked patties on top of the cheddar-topped bread slices, then evenly distribute the caramelized onions over the patties.
  9. Complete Sandwich: Top each assembled patty with the remaining slices of bread, spread-side down, to enclose the filling.
  10. Toast Sandwiches: Return the sandwiches to the skillet and toast them over medium heat, pressing slightly, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese inside is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  11. Serve: Slice each patty melt diagonally and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy the deliciously warm, melty sandwich!

Notes

  • Using rye bread adds a classic tangy flavor that complements the horseradish and mustard spread perfectly.
  • Make sure to cook the onions low and slow for optimal caramelization and sweetness.
  • Adjust the amount of horseradish based on your desired level of spiciness.
  • You can substitute white cheddar with any sharp cheddar or your favorite melting cheese.
  • Press the sandwiches gently while toasting to help the cheese melt evenly and the bread crisp up nicely.
