Portabella & Beef Patty Melts

Recipe #358053 | 41 min | 30 min prep
Debbie F.

This makes 8 (or 6 really hearty) sandwich-style patty melts. If you want a "true" patty-melt follow the recipe as shown. If you want to make it even lower-calorie/carb, use just one slice of bread each to yield about 300 calories, 11g fat (5 g sat) and 26 carb grams (per Eating Well magazine). You can also of course half all the ingredients to make 4 patties insteade of 8. We have 2 teen-age boys, so that's why we make the extra.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil.
  2. 2
    Knead together beef, breadcrumbs, Worscestershire, thyme, salt and pepper.
  3. 3
    Remove gills from portobellos and discard. Dice portobellos, then gently fold them into the beef mixture.
  4. 4
    Shape into 6-8 patties and place on the foil-lined broiler pan. Broil 6-8" from heatsource until cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side.
  5. 5
    While meat is broiling, toast bread slices. Rub each slice of toast on one side with peeled garlic.
  6. 6
    Once meat is done, arrange cooked patties on bottom toast slice, top with 1 tbsp of relish, then cover with slice of swiss. Remove foil from broiler pan and place patty melts directly onto the broiler pan.
  7. 7
    Broil until the cheese is just melted, about 1 minute.
  8. 8
    Place patty melts on serving plates and cover with top slice of toast, if preparing "sandwich" style (leave off top slice for lower carb/cal option).
  9. 9
    Serve with condiments if desired (we find the garlic and relish add enough flavor). Serve with a side salad or veggies of your choice.
