Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Rinshin on June 19, 2024

    As written, it is a confusing recipe even for those who has been cooking for some time and had to watch the video to see some of the missing parts. For example, need to lightly toast one side of bread for using the toasted sides inside to give some structure, use of waxed paper to form the flattened burger patties bigger than bread slices due to shrinkage , not needed to use oven if making only two sandwiches. I used no brown sugar to make sauce and for our taste that was perfect. I precooked the onion using another pan so my patties will not get cold while caramelizing onion pieces which took at least 30 min, and warmed it up right before topping the patties. I also used some ideas from Best patty melt ideas from Kenji Alt Lopez’s recipe esp using broken up pieces of cheese instead of using slices and his instructions on toasting the sandwiches in cast iron pan slowly using lower heat. With these changes, these were the best patty melt sandwiches we have ever tasted.
