Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground beef (80/20)
4 slices sourdough bread (thick cut)
4 slices Swiss cheese
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
1 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or basil, chopped)

Instructions

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each sourdough slice. In a bowl, combine minced garlic and chopped herbs; spread on the unbuttered side of each slice.
Season ground beef with salt and pepper; shape into 4 patties slightly larger than the bread.
Cook patties in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and at an internal temperature of 160°F. Add Swiss cheese during the last minute to melt.
Assemble by placing a patty with melted cheese on one herb-side up slice of sourdough, topping it with another slice (buttered side out).
Grill sandwiches in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot.
