The sandwich consists of a ground beef patty topped with melted cheese (traditionally Swiss cheese) and usually with caramelizedonions between two slices of griddled bread (typically caraway-seeded rye or marbled rye, though sourdough or Texas toast are sometimes substituted in some regions, including the Southern U.S.)[1][4] It is typically made without condiments or garnishes.[5]
