Love a good Burger? Who doesn’t? I think even Vegans secretly crave a good patty of charred beef.
A diner staple is the Patty Melt, at it’s core its a burger on toast. But it’s more than that its also a burger cooked on a grill.
I was at a diner once and they had on their menu a “barnyard burger”. It was grilled chicken, quarter pound of Beef and Bbq Pork. Being the daring young man I am I decided to try it out.
I know here in the southwest we pride ourselves on eating a lot of meat. But for me…. It was just too much.
I decided to make the Perfect Barnyard Melt:
Hamburger:
You need some fresh beef. And also because it’s going on toast I suggest making square patties out of a quarter of a pound.
Bacon:
I use two slices crispy.
Fried Egg:
I like to keep mine on the over medium end so the yolk is still a bit runny.
Colby Jack Cheese:
I go back and forth on what cheese is better, pepper jack or Colby jack. Colby Jack won out this time!
Texas Toast:
You’ll want to lightly toast these on the griddle with some butter. You could use a toaster but it might be a bit bland.
And there you have it! The Perfect Barnyard Melt! Happy Dining!
