Preheat the griddle. Preheat the fryer. Season the patties with salt and  
pepper. Place the patties on the hot griddle and cook for 3 to 4 minutes,  
flip the patties over and continue to cook. Add the julienned onions to the  
griddle and saute for 4 to 5 minutes or until wilted. Season the onions with  
salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, eggs and beer together.  
Season the batter with salt and pepper. Season the onions with salt and  
pepper. Dip each onion ring in the batter, coating completely and letting  
the excess drip off. Carefully lay the onion rings in the hot oil and fry  
until golden−brown, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally for over−all  
browning. Remove the onions rings from the oil and drain on a paper−lined  
plate. Season the rings with salt and pepper. During the last couple of  
minutes of cooking, place one piece of cheese on each patty. After the  
cheese has melted remove the patties from the griddle and set aside. Top  
each patty with the sauteed onions. Oil both sides of the bread and place on  
the griddle. Cook the bread for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until  
toasted. Remove the bread from the griddle and place patties in−between.  
Serve the patty melts with the onions rings. This recipe yields 4 Blue Plate  
Lunch Specials.
