There are many "versions" of patty melts out there and they are very good. Here is my take on a patty melt, Texas style. I use the Texas Toast, cheddar and jack cheeses and sauteed onions with diced green chilies to make my patty melt. This is great served with cold slaw, potato salad, fries or any of your favorite sides. I found a picture on the internet that shows you an example of the end product.
