These Classic Patty Melt Sandwiches are so simple, mouthwatering, and extremely easy to make. It is probably one of my favorites just because I absolutely love the combination of beef patty, cheese, and caramelized onions.
I mean, who would not love this?! It is a sandwich of my foodie dreams.

My family went bananas over it. You see, my husband and I didn’t grow up eating it like many of our American friends.
It was a completely new experience when I first made it compared to some of you eating it in your school cafeteria or diners.

However, I can say that I am so glad that I was the one who introduced this American Classic Sammie to my family. Indeed! It is a must-have at least once a month.

What is Patty Melt?

As I said, patty melt is a sandwich consisting of a hamburger patty with melted cheese and topped with caramelized onions between two slices of griddled bread, traditionally rye or marbled rye. However, sourdough or Texas toast usually is substituted in some regions, including the southern U.S.A.

Well, It is unclear when the patty melt was precisely invented. There are records that it was served as early as the 1940s. The patty melt is a variant of the traditional American cheeseburger, but instead of using it in a bun, it was served on the toasted bread.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds Laura’s Lean Ground Beef
• 1 tsp Table salt
• 1 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 3/4-1 stick of butter, unsalted, divided
• 10 oz Yellow onion, sliced
• 6-8 slices Swiss cheese
• 8 slices of Bread; we used Texas toast

Instructions

1. To Laura’s Lean Ground Beef, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are combined then divide the meat approximately into 4
   equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into the thick burger to fit your bread slices, then make a deep depression in the center with your thumb.
2. Place on the platter, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, turn the stove to medium and heat your skillet, griddle, or a frying pan then add unsalted butter.
4. When the butter is melted, add the onion, toss to coat in the
   butter. Toss every 2 to 3 minutes until the onions are soft and golden brown. About 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside!
5. You can grill burgers or use a skillet/griddle. Since it is a grilling season, I thought of making my burger on the grill.
6. For the grill: Grill the burgers until golden brown about 4 minutes on one side, flip, and grill 4 minutes for medium-rare. Please make your burger doneness your preferences.
7. If you are cooking on the sauté pan, skillet, or griddle: Heat the oil in the skillet or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer; Turn down the heat t medium, then cook burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. When done set aside.
8. Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread.
9. Place a slice or two of cheese, a tablespoon of caramelized onions, a burger, a bit more of carnalized onions and top it off with the cheese. Place another slice of bread on top.
10. Heat your skillet or a griddle, then toast the sandwich on both
    sides for a few minutes until golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted. Slice in half and serve right away.
    
    

Not only that, you are going to love these flavorful grilled pork chops, but I can promise you will make them all the time.

Now, you will need any kind of grill to make them, of course. However, you can use your air fryer as well; 400F for 25-30 minutes depending on your preferences.

I love my pork chops well done. Also, I like bits of burned pieces around the bone and meat in the middle tender. I think that’s my family preference as well. We eat this all summer long.

Sometimes I make extra so we could have it during the week. They are just amazing to mix with rice. I usually eat it cauliflower rice since I am most of the time eating low-carb.

I just cannot believe that I’ve never posted this recipe before. With ten years of blogging, sometimes we ignore the simplest recipes. This one does not require too much work or to have culinary school, but it is delicious, and I am sure you will enjoy it also.

Grilling is my jam. I just love grilled food and could eat it every single day. What is your favorite food from the grill? I have so many, but definitely, burgers and ribs are at the top two, but I also love, love grilled fish.

— Using Kingsford Hardwood Pellets

This post is sponsored by Kingsford. The opinion and text are mine.

Cooking a whole family meal on the grill is not only a time-saver but also a very delicious way to prepare food. On top of that, you can create fabulous memories with your loved ones. I am all about creating memories, particularly around food.

Well, in this post, I am sharing a tasty sandwich with you, a side dish that could be served as a summer salad as well, and a comforting dessert that just about anyone would admire.

I think that the best part of summertime is cooking food outdoor on your grill. Who agrees with me? There is no mistake that the food tastes so much more enjoyable when it comes directly from your grill to the plate.

I partnered with Kingsford Hardwood Pellets to share with you all these appetizing grilled recipes.

Kingsford Hardwood Pellets are made with all-natural, pure flavor hardwoods and absolutely no fillers, binders or preservatives, bringing out undoubtedly the best possible flavor.

You must try their pellets because it will fire up the flavor in any pellet grill — Classic, Cherrywood, Hickory, Signature, and Maple flavor. Furthermore, Kingsford Hardwood Pellets are proudly made in the USA.

For my weekend family meal, I used Kingsford Cherrywood — all-natural 100% cherry hardwood. Additionally, as I said, there are no fillers, so cherry’s fruity aroma adds a delicate smoke flavor to any protein or vegetable, and pairs perfectly with pork.

These all-natural Kingsford pellets are made with pure flavor hardwood to deliver a sweetly refined smoke you will absolutely love. Regardless, you can most certainly use Classic, Hickory, or Signature Pellets, but I wanted to stick to Cherrywood for this meal!

How to use Kingsford Hardwood Pellets:

Pour wood pellets into a storage container, also known as a hopper. The pellets are then fed into a cooking chamber by the electricity-powered auger. Then the wood pellets ignite, heating the cooking chamber where the air is brought in by fans, and your food gets infused with a real wood smoky flavor.

• 1/2-inch piece of ginger, peeled

   pork loin in the marinade, cover and keep in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours;
   make sure to turn it around at least once.

Grill Prep:

1. Open your Kingsford pellets bag. I used classic which is great for almost
   anything you want in your grill. Flavorful and strong. Wood pellets are poured
   into a storage container also known as a hopper. The pellets are then fed into
   a cooking chamber by an auger that is powered by electricity.
2. When ready to cook, smoke setting with the lid open.
3. Wait for the fire to start about 5 min, depending on the grill type and
   model.
4. When ready to cook, set the grill temperature to 450F and preheat lid
   closed for 15 minutes.

Grilling:

1. Place the pork loin on the hot grill and turn every 2-3 minutes, closing the
   lid between each turn, until pork loin is seared all around. Reduce heat to
   300F. Cook until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 150F
   
   Remove from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes. Slice in 1/2" thick
   pieces.

Assemble:

1. Place bread slices on the grill and allow it to get grill marks, 1-2 min on
   each side.
2. Add condiment of your choice, such as mayo-sriracha, and place a few pork
   slices on top of a bed of greens, shredded lettuce, mixed song greens, or
   arugula.

Delicious and easy recipe for an amazing Grilled Skillet Blueberry Galette

Print

Ingredients

GALETTE DOUGH

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 4-1/2 oz., 9 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed into 1/2-inch pieces
• 4 to 5 tablespoons ice-cold water

BLUEBERRY FILLING:

• 12 ounces blueberries (about 2 cups)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
• Zest of one lemon
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 tablespoon regular or coarse sugar

Instructions

GALETTE DOUGH

1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add butter,
   and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
2. With the machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream through the
   feed tube. Pulse until the dough begins to clump together in the bowl. Test by
   squeezing a small amount of dough together: if it holds, you are good to go; if
   it’s crumbly, add more ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
3. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead once or twice to
   bring the dough into one mass.
4. Pat the dough with your fingers and palms to form a disc about 3/4″ thick.
   Wrap in plastic and transfer to the refrigerator. Allow it to rest and chill
   for an hour.
   

Make a galette:

1. Preheat grill to 300° Fahrenheit.
2. Toss blueberries with lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar in a large bowl,
   then add cornstarch
3. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 10-12-inch round. You can also
   divide and make a few smaller galettes.
4. Place rolled out dough in the oven/grill safe skillet, let the edges drape
   over.
5. Mound blueberries in center of the dough, leaving a 2" border. Fold
   edges over, overlapping slightly. Brush dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with
   sugar.
6. Bake galette until crust is dark golden brown and filling is bubbling, 45-50
   minutes. Let cool before serving with vanilla ice cream.

Phyllo Triangles Stuffed with Cheese is a fantastic appetizer, party food, or you could just eat it as a snack. I grew up eating this tasty treat just stuffed with cow cheese mixed with eggs, then stuffed in the homemade dough.

Many of you call this one Greek Tiropitas. However, people from the country that I grew up in know it as sirnica, gibanica, burek sa sirom, or pita sa sirom and all that means cheese pie which is savory. I will post a recipe for my tasty cheese pie which is, in my opinion, better than a pizza.

I love phyllo dough. It is so versatile and we can make so many sweet and savory dishes or desserts using these incredible sheets.

What do you make with phyllo dough sheets? Usually, I would make it stuffed with ground beef, also known as Burek or Börek simply because my lovely family requests that one the most.

TAP HERE FOR MORE TASTY APPETIZER IDEAS

That being said, I absolutely love it stuffed with shredded potatoes, which are sauteed with onions and well seasoned prior to stuffing it in the dough.

Oh, my mouth is watering as I was writing this one, which is probably the reason to make it asap.

Anyways, these are phenomenal to pack for school or work lunch. When my kids were actually taking lunches to school I would pack these for them. They are convenient and delicious hot or cold.

Also, if you do not want to bake all these triangles at once just pack in between wax paper or parchment paper and place in an airtight container then freeze.

They freeze beautifully, but I am not sure about cooked pastry. They probably do freeze well too.

You see, in my house, they never last too long so everything is eaten as soon as I serve them on the table. Well, most of the time we eat it for lunch just like this with some protein on the side as well as salad.

I am sure that you would be able to air-fry them too. Nevertheless, I have not tried that one yet, but if you by any chance air-fry them, please let us know. I would love to hear how they turned out.

Another great idea is that you could add sauteed or defrosted pinch in the cheese mixture. Just make sure to squeeze all the moisture out.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Phyllo Triangles Stuffed with Cheese is an amazing appetizer, party food, or you could just eat it as a snack. Easy, simple, and delicious!

Print

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. feta cheese, 1 pound block and you crumble the cheese yourself
• 1 block cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp sour cream (optional)
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 lb. phyllo dough thawed 20-24 sheets
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp oil

Instructions

1. Mix eggs, and cream cheese with an electric mixer if possible, add ground black pepper then crumbled feta cheese. It is better to get a block of cheese than pre-crumbled, it takes you less than 20 seconds to crumble the cheese yourself, but it makes a huge difference. Trust me!
2. Now take one phyllo dough and unwarp. You will find two in one package. These measurements are or about 24 sheets. Please read the notes.
3. Place all the sheets on the dumbed cotton kitchen towel and cover. It is best if you work on a cutting board or similar.
4. Melt unsalted butter and add two tablespoons of oil, mix well. You can use clarified butter instead. If non is available using only oil will work as well.
5. Take one sheet and butter it completely. Make sure not to press too hard, just brush lightly with your pastry brush or similar, then place another sheet on the top. Run a sharp knife down the sheet lengthwise in half. You will have 2 triangles using two sheets of phyllo dough.
6. Place two tablespoons of cheese mixture at the end of the strip. Fold over the corner to make a triangle. Continue folding from side to side till you get to the end of the strip. Place on a baking sheet. Brush tops with a bit of butter. Repeat the process until you’ve used up all of your fillings. I usually make around 12 to 14 with one half.
7. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Allow these tringles to cool before serving. I usually serve them with salad.

Notes

• Phyllo, Filo, or Fillo comes in all shapes and sizes but for this recipe, use 1 pound pack of sheets. Athens is the only available brand for me. I get it in Publix or Kroger, freezer section where you find frozen novelties or desserts; ice creams, pies, pie shells, whipped cream in the tub, etc.
• The pack contains two 8-oz bags of (APPROXIMATELY) 20 sheets each measuring 9 x 14-inches.
• My pack came with two like any other pack, HOWEVER, sometimes one pack has more sheets than the other and I was not aware until I started to WRITE this recipe because my facts were not matching. So one-half pack came with 24 sheets which would make 14 triangles. On the pack, it did say approximately 20 in each. The recipe is not off, it just that my box of phyllo was not correct. I just counted the other pack and it got only 18 CT. sheets.
• WITH THAT BEING SAID, FOR THIS CHEESE MIXTURE MEASUREMENT YOU CAN MAKE 12 TO 14 TRIANGLES, DEPENDING HOW MUCH YOU ADD IN. For each triangle, you will need two sheets. I hope that makes sense to you if not just comment below.
