Method

  1. In a large bowl, gently and thoroughly combine all the ingredients.

  2. Form the mixture into four equal-sized thin patties, roughly the same size as the bread you will be using or half the size of the naan bread.

  3. Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  4. Onions:

  5. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the oil.

  6. Add the onion to the pan and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper to taste.

  7. Sauté the onions until caramelized, which takes about 35 minutes. Set aside.

  8. Griddling the Patties and Assembling the Sandwiches:

  9. Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil.

  10. Place the patties on the griddle and cook on both sides until crispy on the edges and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes per side.

  11. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and wipe the griddle clean.

  12. To assemble the sandwiches, place a slice of cheese, a patty, another slice of cheese, and the caramelized onions on one half of each bread.

  13. Place the other half of the bread on top, creating the sandwich.

  14. Brush or add 2 more tablespoons of oil to the griddle and place the sandwiches on the griddle.

  15. Press the sandwiches with a spatula
