2day's recipe: Buttered-Toast Swiss Patty Burgers

I have a small confession, I am a meat eating freak!  I love a great steak, roast, or hamburger.  Honestly, I couldn't do without.  It is just the way God made me, I love her!!!  Any way, here is a really yummy recipe for a big, fat, juicy hamburger.
Enjoy :-)

Buttered-Toast Swiss Patty Burgers

Onions add a silky touch to this humble yet satisfying burger. (note from Sara - I would add mushrooms to this burger, well I did)

Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons softened
1 large onion chopped
2 pinches ground thyme
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground beef sirloin
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
4 thin slices Swiss cheese such as emmentaler
8 slices sandwich bread
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
A splash chicken stock or water
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Instructions
1.In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat. Add the onion and thyme, season with salt and pepper and cook until the onion is browned, about 20 minutes.

2.While the onion is cooking, in a large bowl, combine the sirloin and Worcestershire; season with salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties, making a depression at the center for even cooking. In a nonstick skillet, heat the EVOO, 1/2 turn of the pan, over medium-high heat until smoking. Add the patties and cook, turning once, for 6 to 8 minutes for medium. During the last minute of cooking, top the burgers with the cheese.

3.Toast the bread, then spread with the 2 tablespoons softened butter.

4.Stir the mustard and chicken stock into the onions. Stir in the parsley, then remove from the heat.

5.Place a beef patty on each of 4 buttered toasts; top with some of the onions and another buttered toast slice.

Yields: 4 Servings
