Ingredients
- 4 slices Danish rye bread
- 4 slices Havarti cheese
- 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Honey (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
While the bacon is cooking, butter one side of each slice of Danish rye bread evenly with the unsalted butter.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove from skillet and repeat the process for the second sandwich.
Step 8
Let the sandwiches cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing diagonally. Serve warm and enjoy your Denmark Delight Grilled Cheese with Crispy Bacon!
