Lightly mix the ingredients and form into three oval-shaped patties with slight indents in the middle.

Heat a cast iron skillet on medium high heat and add butter and olive oil.

Cook the patties in the skillet until a nice crust forms, then flip and cook until done.

Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for about 10 minutes.

In a pan on low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and place the rye bread butter side down.

Add a slice of Swiss cheese, the beef patty, a layer of caramelized onions, and another slice or two of Swiss cheese on top.

Cover with another piece of buttered rye bread, smash with a spatula, and cook until golden brown and cheese is melted, flipping halfway through.
