When you’re short on time on weeknights, nothing beats a basic comfort food like patty melts. You can easily make this classic diner meal at home with the same crunchy bread, juicy burger, melty cheese, and tasty caramelized onions. The hidden ingredient that really makes this dish shine is the one we must not overlook. Just what you need to fulfill those cravings without leaving the home.

Crispy fries or a fresh side salad are the perfect complements to patty melts, since they cut through the richness. Try some mild coleslaw or sweet potato fries to spice things up a little. For the ideal tart crunch, serve with a pickle spear.
