Equipment
- Medium bowl

- large skillet or griddle
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread
- 8 slices bacon cooked
- 6 tablespoons salted butter room temperature divided
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices cheese cheddar or your preferred type
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the eggs, scrambling with a spatula until they are fully cooked. Set aside.
- On one side of the bread, place a slice of cheese, followed by ¼ of the scrambled eggs, two slices of bacon, and another slice of cheese. Top with another slice of bread.
- Butter the outward facing pieces of bread with the butter.
- Place a griddle over medium heat. When the griddle is hot, put the sandwiches onto the griddle and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the first side is brown.
- Flip the sandwiches and tent with aluminum foil, reducing the heat to medium low. Cook until the second side is brown and the cheese is melted.
- Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cook bacon ahead to save time in the morning.
- Use room temp butter for easy spreading.
- Tent with foil to melt cheese faster without burning the bread.
