Patty Melts with Apple Slaw

• 1/2 small head red cabbage, shredded (about 3 cups)
• 1 small Granny Smith apple, cut into matchsticks
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 2 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup dijonnaise (or dijon mustard mixed with mayonnaise)
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 onion, sliced
• 12 ounces extra-lean ground beef sirloin
• 4 thin slices light Swiss cheese (about 3 ounces)
• 8 slices rye or marble rye bread

1. Make the slaw: Combine the cabbage, apple, carrot and scallions in a bowl.
2. Add 2 tablespoons dijonnaise and the vinegar; season with salt and pepper and toss.
3. Set aside.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
6. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Transfer to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
8. Preheat the broiler.
9. Line a baking sheet with foil.
10. Form the beef into four 1/4-inch-thick oval patties; season with salt and pepper.
11. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
12. Broil until cooked through, about 3 minutes.
13. Top with the sauteed onion and cheese and continue broiling until the cheese is just melted, about 30 seconds.
14. Spread 4 slices bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons dijonnaise; top with the patties and remaining bread.
15. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium-high heat.
16. Working in batches, add the sandwiches and cook until golden, 1 1/2 minutes per side, reducing the heat as needed.
17. Serve with the apple slaw.
