About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick cut white bread
- 4 slices red leicester cheese
- 4 slices mature cheddar cheese
- 1 white onion
- pickles
- ketchup
- mustard
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 patty
Piquante Mayo
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 3/10 cup oil
- sweet cherry peppers
- piquante peppers
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp MSG
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- 11. Prepare the piquante mayo according to the component instructions and chill it in the refrigerator.
- 22. Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat; toast the four slices of thick‑cut white bread until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Set the toasted slices aside.
- 33. Spread a generous layer of the chilled piquante mayo on the inner faces of each toasted bread slice.
- 44. In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium‑high heat until crisp, about 3‑4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain excess fat.
- 55. Increase the heat to medium‑high and sear the beef patty on one side for 2 minutes; flip, then press down with a spatula to smash it, cooking an additional 2‑3 minutes until your desired doneness is reached.
- 66. While the patty rests, assemble the sandwich stack on a clean surface in this order: bottom toasted bread (mayo side up), a thin spread of ketchup, a thin spread of mustard, the finely diced white onion, two slices of crisp bacon, two slices of mature cheddar, two slices of red Leicester, the cooked patty, another two slices of red Leicester, two slices of mature cheddar, the remaining two bacon slices, pickles, and a final dollop of piquante mayo. Top with the second toasted bread slice, mayo side down.
- 77. Return the assembled sandwich to the skillet, place a small cutting board or flat press on top, and gently press down with a spatula to compress the layers.
- 88. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 3‑4 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt without burning the bread.
- 99. Add a splash (≈30 ml) of water to the pan, quickly cover with a lid, and steam for 30 seconds to ensure all cheese layers are fully melted.
- 1010. Remove the lid, lift the sandwich with a wide spatula, and let it rest for 1 minute to settle.
- 1111. Slice the patty melt diagonally into two halves for easier handling.
- 1212. Serve immediately while hot and gooey, optionally with extra pickles or a side of fries.
