Mushroom And Swiss Patty Melt With Peas Food

THE ULTIMATE PATTY MELT BURGER

Steps:

• Cut the bacon strips in half. Fry to preferred doneness (I like mine moderately soft).
• Fry onions in a little butter over medium to medium-high heat until cooked and browned.
• Fry mushrooms in butter or bacon grease until nicely cooked and a little browned.
• Form ground sirloin into 6, slightly oval patties. Fry or grill to preferred doneness (I like medium-well).
• While patties are cooking, make 6 sandwiches of rye bread and cheese. Butter the outsides and cook like a normal grilled-cheese sandwich -- in restaurant-speak this is a "set-up".
• When set-ups are ready them pry them open and set them on the individual plates.
• Put cooked patties on one side of the set-up. Top with bacon strips, onions, and mushrooms.
• Close sandwiches, pin with frilly toothpicks, and cut in half.
• Offer mayonnaise and/or mustard (preferably brown or Dijon), at the table.
• I prefer to offer coleslaw (try Recipe #209944 ), or a green salad but really crisp french fries and a pickle on the side are customary.

MUSHROOM AND SWISS PATTY MELT WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Lightly season patty with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add patty and cook until golden brown on the first side, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip patty, move to one side of skillet. Add onions, mushrooms, salt and pepper to cleared side of skillet and cook until softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add peas and cook for 1 minute more, checking to ensure patty is cooked through. Sprinkle patty with cheese and transfer to a plate. Spoon hot mushroom mixture on top and serve.
