Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and cook thick-cut bacon strips for about 4-6 minutes until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  2. Whisk together large eggs, a splash of milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
  3. Drain most bacon grease from the skillet, leaving 1 tablespoon. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring for 3-5 minutes until just set.
  4. Lay out two slices of bread and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on each slice. Divide the scrambled eggs evenly on top.
  5. Top the eggs with crispy bacon and another sprinkle of cheddar cheese, capping with a second slice of bread.
  6. Butter the outer sides of the sandwich generously with unsalted butter.
  7. Place the sandwich in the skillet, pressing down gently, and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Slice the sandwich in half, garnish with fresh chives or green onions, and serve.
