Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Danish rye bread
- 4 slices Havarti cheese
- 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a separate skillet, cook the thick-cut bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
While the bacon is cooking, butter one side of each slice of Danish rye bread evenly with the unsalted butter.
Place one buttered slice of bread (buttered side down) onto the skillet. Layer two slices of Havarti cheese over the bread, followed by 2 slices of crispy bacon. If desired, drizzle a teaspoon of honey over the bacon for added sweetness.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up.
Cook the sandwich over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from skillet and repeat the process for the second sandwich.
Let the sandwiches cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing diagonally. Serve warm and enjoy your Denmark Delight Grilled Cheese with Crispy Bacon!
