- Spread mustard or mayonnaise on one side of each slice of rye bread (optional). Place a slice of Swiss cheese on the unbuttered side of 4 slices of bread.
- Top the cheese with a cooked beef patty, then add a portion of the caramelized onions on top of each patty.
- Place another slice of Swiss cheese on top of the onions, then cover each patty with one of the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
- In the skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted, place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the sandwich from the pan and serve warm.
