Ingredients

  • 4 slices bread
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices ham
  • 4 strips bacon
  • 1 serving lettuce and tomato

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the 4 bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

  2. 2

    Butter one side of each of the 4 bread slices with the 2 tbsp butter. Place 2 slices, buttered side down, in the same skillet over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Top each with 2 slices of cheddar, 2 slices of ham, and 2 bacon strips. Cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.

  4. 4

    Cook until the bottom is golden and the cheese starts to melt, about 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook until the other side is golden and the cheese is fully melted, about 3 more minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from the skillet, open each sandwich, and add the lettuce and tomato. Close and serve hot.
