- Cut the cheese into 4 pieces a little smaller that the patties.
- Place a piece of cheese on 4 of the patties, cover with the remaining patties, and press edges together to seal and encase the cheese.
- When grill is ready, brush the grill rack or broiler rack with vegetable oil.
- Place the patties on the grill rack or under the broiler and cook until browned, about 4 minutes.
- With a wide spatula, turn the patties and cook until done to preference, about 4 minutes longer for medium rare.
- During the last few minutes of cooking, place the bread slices on the outer edges of the grill to toast lightly or prepare in toaster.
- Top 4 slices of the bread with the patties, pile on the onion, and cover.
- with the remaining bread slices.
