patty melt

Cheesy beef sandwich

A patty melt is a diner sandwich: a hamburger patty with grilled onions and melted cheese, served between slices of toasted rye bread rather than a bun.

The sandwich is griddled like a grilled cheese, giving it crispy, buttery edges.

I'll have a patty melt with fries.
