Slimmed Down - Bison Patty Melt
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced (4 cups)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound ground bison (buffalo)
- 8 slices multi-grain bread
- 8 thin slices low-fat Swiss cheese, 2 to 3 ounces
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions, and cook until golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
- When caramelized add Worcestershire and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Put the onions in a bowl.
- Meanwhile, divide the meat into 4 portions, and then press each one into an oval patty about the size of the slices of bread.
- Wipe out the skillet and add another 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Season the patties with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat in batches if needed until well browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare burgers.
- Lay the bread on the counter.
- Divide the onions among 4 bread slices and top with a slice of cheese, a patty, another slice of cheese, and a slice of bread.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the sandwiches, in batches if needed, turning once, until the bread is lightly browned and the cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Halve the melts and serve.
