Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once done, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Slice the tomato thinly and season lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto a preheated skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Layer the sandwich with 1 slice of cheese, 2 slices of bacon, several tomato slices, and the remaining slice of cheese.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing up.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Bacon Tomato and Cheese Sandwich!
