Patty Melt on a Turnbuckle

This pretty little patty melt packs a punch of layered flavors, from decadent white truffle to melty Swiss cheese. How could you say no? 

Ingredients:

• 6 of our Turnbuckle Soft Pretzel Sticks, thawed
• Our White Truffle Pretzel Salt
• Our Truffle Mustard
• 1 pound ground beef
• 6 slices swiss cheese 
• 1 Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper to taste 

Instructions: 

Caramelized Onions: 

• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat and cook onions, stirring often and reducing temperature to low until onions are a deep golden brown and very soft, 15-20 minutes. Set aside. 

Patties and Assembly:  

• Slice Turnbuckles in half, butter and top with White Truffle Salt, then bake following our heating instructions.
• In a medium bowl, gently mix ground beef, salt and pepper. Form into 6 oval-shaped patties 
• Warm up your grill, if using a propane grill heat to 400 degrees, and cook patties for 5-8 minutes (depending on how well done you prefer). Transfer to a plate. 
• Assemble patty melts: Spread truffle mustard on bottom half of the Turnbuckle, top with a slice of Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, patties and more Swiss Cheese. Top with top of Turnbuckle to create sandwich.
• Place patty melts back on grill and press with a heavy, grill-friendly object, like a cast-iron press or pan. Let cook until cheese is melted. 
• Serve and enjoy!
