Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Butter one side of each bread slice. On one slice, spread mayonnaise on the non-buttered side.
Place the buttered side of one bread slice down on a clean skillet or pan over medium heat.
Layer 1 slice of cheddar cheese, the cooked bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, a pinch of salt, and black pepper on top of the mayonnaise.
Add the second slice of cheddar cheese, then top with the second bread slice, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the pan, let cool slightly, and slice the sandwich in half. Serve immediately and enjoy!
