1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
2
Prepare the Bread
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. This will be the outer side that gets toasted.
3
Assemble the Sandwich
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, layer 4 oz of cheddar cheese and 3 slices of crispy bacon. Top with the remaining two slices of bread, mayonnaise side out.

4
Grill the Sandwich
In the same skillet used for bacon, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet, cooking until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
5
Flip and Cook
Gently flip the sandwich, add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet, and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 more minutes.
6
Serve
Once both sides are golden and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
