1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip occasionally for even cooking. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
2
Prepare the Bread
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will create a golden crust when grilled.

3
Assemble the Sandwich
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, place a slice of cheddar cheese, followed by three slices of cooked bacon. If using, add tomato and avocado slices on top of the bacon, then cover with another slice of cheddar cheese. Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

4
Grill the Sandwich
In the same skillet used for the bacon, place the assembled sandwich over medium heat. Grill for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

5
Serve
Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut it in half, and serve hot. Optionally, drizzle with hot sauce for added flavor.
