Preheat the oven grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.
Toast the crumpets in a toaster or under the grill for about 2-3 minutes until they are lightly golden and crisp on the edges.
Spread a thin layer of butter on the warm crumpets while they are still hot.
Place the toasted crumpets on a baking tray. Lay two slices of cooked bacon on each crumpet, folding if necessary.
Sprinkle an even layer of grated cheddar cheese over each crumpet. Make sure the cheese is distributed generously over the bacon.
Place the baking tray under the grill or broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the crumpets from the grill and sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over each one for extra flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
