Cover one slice of bread with two slices of Swiss cheese and the other with two slices of cheddar.

In a separate frying/sauté pan, melt butter and sauté sliced onions. Season with salt, pepper and garlic while heating.

Place cooked burger patty on top of one cheese-topped slice of bread and the sautéed onions on the other. Carefully close and cut sandwich.
