15. ### Step-by-Step Guide for Making a Classic Patty Melt
17. #### Preparation:
18. 1. **Season the Ground Beef:** Start by combining your ground beef in a mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, ensuring that it's evenly distributed throughout the meat.
19. 2. **Form Patties:** Use your hands to form the beef into four even patties. Aim for them to be about 3/4 inches thick.
21. #### Cooking:
22. 1. **Heat Your Pan:** Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
23. 2. **Cook the Patties:** Once the pan is hot, place the meat patties in the pan. Cook each patty for about 5-6 minutes on one side until nicely browned, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
24. 3. **Prepare the Bread:** While the burgers are cooking, take a second skillet and place the rye bread slices in it. Toast them lightly on both sides until they're slightly golden but still soft.
26. #### Assembly:
27. 1. **Place Cheese:** Once the patties have finished cooking, place one slice of Swiss cheese over each patty. The heat from the pan will start to melt the cheese.
28. 2. **Toast Bread:** Place the other slices of rye bread on top of the cheese and cover with a lid for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
30. #### Serving:
31. 1. **Serve Hot:** Carefully remove each patty melt from the pan, place it on a plate, and serve immediately.
32. 2. **Enjoy Your Meal:** Enjoy your classic patty melts hot off the stove!
34. ### Tips to Make Your Patty Melt Stand Out
35. - Use high-quality ground beef for the best flavor.

37. - For a twist, you can use other types of cheese like cheddar or provolone.
