Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese

    Grate the Parmesan cheese and set aside. Stack the American, Swiss, and Havarti cheese slices for easy assembly.

  3. 3

    Prepare Waffle Fries

    Prepare the waffle fries according to the package instructions, either baking or frying until golden and crispy.

Grilling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On two slices of homestyle bread, layer the American cheese, Swiss cheese, Havarti cheese, and crispy bacon. Top with the remaining slices of bread.

  2. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a large skillet or griddle, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted, place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Marinara

    Cut the grilled cheese sandwiches in half and serve with warm marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Plate the waffle fries alongside the sandwiches.
