Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Dark rye bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 slices Havarti cheese
- 2 slices Jarlsberg cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dill sprigs, fresh
- 1 tablespoon Lingonberry jam (optional)
Instructions
Place the slices of dark rye bread on a clean surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the side that gets toasted.
Lay the slices of Havarti and Jarlsberg cheese on the unbuttered side of one of the bread slices.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of fresh dill over the cheese layers for added flavor.
If using lingonberry jam, spread it thinly on the unbuttered side of the second slice of bread and place it on top of the cheese and dill (buttered side out).
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat until warm.
Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet, buttered side down, and cook for about 3-5 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to form an even golden crust.
Flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-5 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Scandinavian Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
