Preparation Steps

Start by placing thick-cut bacon in a cold skillet set over medium heat. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until crispy and golden.
Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of Texas toast and lay them mayonnaise-side down on a clean surface.
Layer two slices of cheddar cheese on one slice of prepared toast, add two bacon strips, another two slices of cheddar, and top with another slice of toast mayonnaise-side out.
Preheat a skillet over low to medium heat and place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 2-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese melts.
Let the sandwiches rest for 2-3 minutes on a cutting board before slicing diagonally to reveal the gooey center and crispy bacon.
