Cook the bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Prepare the bread: Lightly butter one side of each slice of raisin bread with about 1/2 tablespoon of butter per slice.
Assemble the sandwich: Place one buttered slice of raisin bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface. Layer it with a slice of cheddar cheese, two slices of crispy bacon, another slice of cheddar cheese, and then top it with another slice of raisin bread, buttered side up. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Grill the sandwiches: Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the assembled sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even toasting. Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has fully melted.
Serve immediately: Cut the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
