Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Irish bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Toast the slices of bread on both sides until golden brown. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of toasted bread, layer a generous amount of Irish cheddar cheese, followed by the crispy Irish bacon. Add chopped fresh chives and sprinkle with black pepper.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Top with another slice of toasted bread. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwich on both sides until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from skillet, cut in half, and serve warm. Enjoy your Irish sandwich!
