<title>Bison Patty Melt with Proscuitto, Chef Bob Ballantyne, Grand Junction, Colorado</title></head><body>
<p>Tonight a quick visit to burger land! Let's see, rye bread, bison
burger, proscuitto, and onions and mushrooms? I vote for a new twist on
the Patty Melt! The bison patty melt with crispy proscuitto! First
the proscuitto goes in the sauté for the crisping! </p>

<p>Now all this gets put together in a strange order so everything gets coated
correctly. Next I do the onions and mushrooms but only halfway. When
the burger is done I want to finish the onions fast and do the bread!</p>

<p>While the burger is searing, I butter up the rye and get it ready.</p>

<p>Then the onions go back in while I assemble the proscuitto, burger and rye
bread. (I don't use the swiss cheese because I have the lactose thing.)
When it is all done don't forget to cut it on the bias.</p>

the original way.... but it is fun to play with bison!</p>
