- #40146

ingredients
1 hamburger patty
salt, pepper, granulated garlic, to taste
melted butter, as needed
2 pieces Italian bread
2 tablespoons mayonnaise with roasted garlic and mustard
2 slices Swiss cheese
2 slices Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sliced onions
directions
Season one side of the burger with salt, pepper and garlic. Place on grill or in broiler, seasoned side down. Then season the other side. Cook to desired doneness.
While burger is cooking, melt butter in fry pan on medium heat or in electric skillet (set at 350 degrees F). Spread mayonnaise onto bread. Drop bread, dry side down, onto melted pools and swirl to coat (to avoid sticking/burning).
Cover one slice of bread with two slices of Swiss cheese and the other with two slices of Cheddar.
In a separate frying/saute pan, melt butter and saute sliced onions. Season with salt, pepper and garlic while heating.
Place cooked burger patty on top of one cheese-topped slice of bread and the sauteed onions on the other. Carefully close and cut sandwich.

Haven't had the menu item at Applebee's but I'd say this is a pretty good classic patty melt all around. I didn't have roasted garlic so I just used some garlic powder with the mayo and added a squirt of mustard to it too.
