Happy New Year everyone!! No one’s on a diet are they? Or wait…a healthier eating plan? Just eat smaller portions and eat what you love…you’ll do great! I promise.
I had these frozen pretzels in my freezer, the typical ones you find in your grocer’s frozen aisle. I felt these needed a better plan than the whole just “dipping into mustard” scenario.
I let the pretzels thaw out and sliced them in half with my bread knife. I precooked my bacon in the oven and layered it on the bottom half of the pretzel slices. I topped the bacon with Havarti cheese slices, but you can choose any kind of cheese you like. Then popped them in a nonstick skillet with a little butter to melt the cheese and warm the bacon through.
Simple and exquisite. And no one will complain when you pull out a tray of these.

Bacon-Pretzel Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
- 6 frozen pretzels, thawed and sliced
- 3/4 pound bacon, cooked
- 6 slices Havarti or other cheese

Directions
- Place bacon on the bottom half of the pretzel slices. Top with cheese and pretzel tops. Brush tops of pretzels with water and sprinkle with pretzel salt (comes in the pretzel box, just not too much).

Cheesy goodness.

Thank you!
Pretzels and bacon with cheese what could be better. I eat thoes freezer pretzels all the time thanks for the new way to eat them.
what a delicious looking recipe. I wished to try it now.
Working on my Sandwich roundup post, and I just have to tell you these sandwiches look AMAZING!! In fact, I’m on vacation with my husband and 2 boys and ALL 3 of them saw it pop up and commented how good it looks!! I’ll be making it for them soon! Thanks for letting me use this in my round up!
I could eat two, maybe three of these. I better not show him this picture, or I’ll have to make it tonight. Pinning for later. 🙂
This looks divine. But I saw something the other day that struck me as I thought about this but had not tried yet. I make my own pastrami and wondered about using pork. Some restaurant has and I think the pork pastrami would be perfect for these pretzel buns.
I am going to a tailgate was going to take onion bombs untill I ran across this, I cant wait.
