How to Make Applebee's Classic Patty Melt Copycat
- In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Season both sides of each beef patty generously with the garlic salt and pepper mixture.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your desired level of doneness.
- While the patties cook, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a separate skillet over medium heat.
- Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place bread, mayonnaise-side down, in the melted butter, swirling to coat both sides lightly.
- Top two slices of bread with two slices of Swiss cheese each and the remaining two slices with two slices of cheddar cheese each.
- In a clean skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the cooked burger patties on top of the Swiss cheese-covered bread slices.
- Top the patties with the caramelized onions.
- Carefully place the cheddar cheese-covered bread slices on top to create the sandwich.
- Gently press down on the sandwich. If desired, you can lightly toast the sandwich in a pan until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
- Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!
