Buttered Toast Swiss Patty Burger Recipes

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.

SWEET BUTTER TOASTS

Steps:

• Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, if desired. Melt the butter on a heavy griddle over medium heat. Coat both sides of the bread slices with the melted butter on the grill and arrange on grill. Sprinkle with sugar. Once bread has nice grill marks, about 2 minutes, flip over and grill the sugared side for 2 minutes until caramelized. Transfer the toasts to a plate, sugar side up. Cool slightly, then cut diagonally in half. Eat toasts sugared side down.

BUTTERED TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Trim the crusts off four thin slices of loaf bread. Leave the slices whole or cut each slice (to serve as a base for certain savories such as angels on horseback, deviled chicken livers and so on) into uniform rectangles.
• Melt one tablespoon of butter and butter the bread on both sides. Arrange the bread pieces on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake six minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom. Turn the pieces and continue baking one or two minutes longer until browned on the second side.
