1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, lay the bacon strips flat. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
2
Add Sriracha
Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the skillet and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, add the Sriracha sauce to the bacon fat and stir well. Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet and toss until well coated. Remove from heat.

3
Melt the Bleu Cheese
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the bleu cheese and allow it to melt slowly, stirring occasionally until creamy.

4
Toast the Bread
In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the bread and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
5
Combine Ingredients
On the bottom slice of the toasted bread, layer the Sriracha bacon, followed by the melted bleu cheese. Place the other slice of bread on top to complete the assembly.
6
Serve
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately while warm.
