Classic Patty Melt

The Classic Patty Melt…
When a grilled cheese meets a hamburger.
The Bread should be sliced rye (seeded or seedless, depending on preference) is traditional and provides a subtle tang that balances the richness of the other ingredients. Some might opt for sourdough or even Texas toast, but classic rye offers a unique and essential flavor profile.
The Beef patty should be made from freshly ground chuck, ideally an 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio. This ensures juiciness and flavor. They should be seasoned simply with salt and pepper, cooked on a hot griddle or cast-iron skillet to develop a beautiful sear and crust, while remaining juicy on the inside.
The Onions should be deeply caramelized. This is where the magic truly happens.
The Cheese must be melty and flavorful. The classic choice for a patty melt is Swiss cheese. I prefer a sharp cheddar. And then there are those people that like American cheese… Well, they are not invited to this party!
The Classic Patty Melt is stacked with meat, onions and cheese and then cooked until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted and oozy.

Giant Cabbage, Pea and Spring Onion Latka

This substantial, rösti-sized latke puts cabbage center stage and has the addition of peas and spring onions. It’s crisped up in a skillet and then baked in the oven. Serve it with sour cream and fresh dill or herb of your choice. This was a HUGE hit with my family.

Noodle Kugel with Caramelized Onions & Brown Butter

Our dear friend Liz passed away after a long battle with cancer. She was an amazing woman and a big part of our family's life. After the service, we went to her home to sit Shiva, which literally means “seven” – a period of seven days when a Jewish family has a formal mourning time to honor their loved one. It was a beautiful service and day, in which we shared many stories about our friend Liz. I brought this Noodle Kugel with Caramelized Onions & Brown Butter. I have made kugels before, but I think this will forever be my go-to recipe. Yehi Zichrah Baruch - May her memory be a blessing.

Tennessee Onions

I have to admit, I had never heard of Tennessee Onions. It appeared in my inbox, so I thought I would try it. It's very simple to make and could be a side dish to any kind of meat or used on a burger. You use sweet onion like Vidalia. Vidalia onions are a type of sweet onion. They have a mild flavor, and a relatively high sugar content. This would also be great to put on the grill.
