Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sliced bread
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 2 slices Bacon
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
Cook the bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the cooked bacon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Heat a separate skillet: Place a clean skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Prep the bread: Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. If desired, spread mayonnaise on the inside of one or both slices for extra flavor.
Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet. Add one slice of cheese, followed by the cooked bacon, and then the second slice of cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich: Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to encourage even browning. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Slice and serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it rest for 1-2 minutes, then slice in half and serve immediately.
