Cook bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove bacon and drain on paper towels.

In the same pan, crack eggs and cook to desired doneness, seasoning with salt and black pepper.

While eggs are cooking, toast the bread in a toaster or under the broiler until golden brown.

Once toasted, spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.

Place cooked bacon on the buttered side of one slice of bread.

Add the cooked eggs on top of the bacon.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the eggs and cover with the second slice of bread, buttered side down.

Return the sandwich to the pan and cook on medium heat until the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from heat and slice in half.

Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
