Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon
• 2 large eggs
• 2 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 slices bread
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crisp, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cooked, remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.

Step 2

In the same skillet with the bacon drippings removed, melt butter over medium-low heat.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a small bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the eggs into the skillet and allow to cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes or until the edges are set. Gently stir with a spatula and continue to cook until they are scrambled and cooked through, about another 2 minutes. Transfer scrambled eggs to a plate.

Step 5

Using the same skillet, toast the bread slices on one side for about 1 minute until golden brown.

Step 6

On the untoasted side of one bread slice, place a slice of cheese, top it with scrambled eggs, followed by bacon slices, and another slice of cheese. Cover with the second slice of bread, toasted side facing out.

Step 7

Cook the sandwich in the skillet over medium heat. Press gently with the spatula and cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the skillet, slice the sandwich in half, and serve immediately.
