Place the two slices of bread on a clean surface and spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice.
Flip the bread slices over so the unbuttered side is facing up. Spread mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of one slice, if using.
Place the cheddar cheese slice on top of the mayonnaise (or on the plain bread, if not using mayonnaise).
Lay the cooked bacon strips evenly on top of the cheese.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Place the sandwich on a microwave-safe plate and cover it with a microwave-safe paper towel to prevent splatter.
Microwave on high for 1 minute. Check the sandwich and press gently to ensure the cheese is melting. If needed, microwave for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, ensuring the bread does not overheat or become too soggy.
Remove the sandwich from the microwave and allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes before cutting it in half and serving.
