**Step-by-Step Instructions:**
1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they’re beautifully caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and set aside to enhance those umami flavors!
2. While the onions are cooking, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Shape it into two oval patties that will fit perfectly in your bread.
3. Using the same skillet, add the remaining butter over medium-high heat. Cook each beef patty for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they’re nicely browned and cooked to your preference.
4. While the patties are cooking, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth.
5. It’s time to assemble your sandwich! Spread the mayo mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Layer Swiss cheese, a beef patty, the caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, and then top with the other slice of bread.
6. Wipe the skillet clean, adding a touch more butter if necessary, and grill the sandwiches over medium heat until the bread is crispy and the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
7. Slice your savory creation in half and get ready to enjoy!

**Serving Suggestions:**
Pair your Savory Fusion Patty Melt with a side of crispy fries, a fresh salad, or some pickles for that perfect crunch and zing!

**Pro Tips for Success:**
Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the patties, as this ensures a nice sear. Additionally, give the cheese time to melt by covering the skillet briefly while grilling the sandwiches!
