Place a skillet over a medium-low heat and add about a third of the butter.
Crack in your eggs and cook to your desired consistency, adding a little salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Add another third of the butter to the skillet.
Add two bread slices into the melted butter on the skillet over medium-low heat. Add a slice of cheese to each one.
Add a fried egg on top of the cheese and then add the bacon.
Top with the rest of the cheese slices and the second piece of bread.
Cook the sandwiches until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully lift the sandwich and add the remaining butter.
Flip the grilled cheese sandwich over and cook it in the butter until the bread’s toasted and the cheese is melted.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Cook the eggs separately: This makes it easier to control the yolk consistency before assembling the sandwiches.
Butter the second side: Melt the remaining butter in the open skillet space before flipping the sandwiches into it.
Leave enough pan room: Give each sandwich enough space for the spatula to slide underneath cleanly.
