Classic Patty Melts with Secret Sauce

Patty Melts with Secret Sauce

A Patty Melt is the perfect middle ground between a burger and a grilled cheese. The secret to a legendary melt is the “cheese sandwich” technique—placing cheese on both the top and bottom of the patty to act as a savory glue that holds the bread, meat, and secret sauce together. Rye bread is traditional, but sourdough or thick Texas toast gives a sturdy, buttery crunch that pairs perfectly with juicy beef and tangy sauce.
