Frequently Asked Questions
Any melty cheese will work perfectly. I prefer Swiss, but that is how I have always made them. Some other options include American, pepper jack, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella, among others.
You can use any condiments you would like: mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, Thousand Island dressing or any other choice of dressing or sauce.
Sourdough, white bread, or rye are my favorites. You can experiment with the bread to find what you like best and go with that!
Yes, you are welcome to heat a skillet on medium to medium-high heat on the stovetop and cook until the meat is nice and cooked through. In a separate pan, sauté the onions. Then, when assembling, butter the bread and toast it in a clean skillet.
Swiss cheese is often used for a patty melt, but you can easily swap it with other types of cheese. The best is using real sliced cheese over classic sliced cheese, as it will not melt down the same.
