  1. Place bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. Cook until crispy, about 4–6 minutes per side.

  3. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Tip: For extra even crisping, cook the bacon in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes on a foil-lined baking sheet.


Step 2: Prepare the Bread

  1. Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.

  2. On the unbuttered side of 4 slices, drizzle 1 teaspoon maple syrup and spread it lightly.


Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches

  1. Layer half of the shredded cheddar on top of the maple-drizzled bread.

  2. Place 2 slices of crispy bacon over the cheese.

  3. Top with the remaining cheddar.

  4. Close each sandwich with another slice of bread, buttered side facing outward.


Step 4: Grill to Perfection

  1. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.

  2. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula.

  3. When the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, remove from the pan.


Step 5: Serve

  • Slice sandwiches in half.

  • Drizzle lightly with warm maple syrup or serve with a small dipping cup on the side.
