Ingredients

8 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
8 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Place half of the bread slices butter-side down on the baking sheet. Top each slice with the bacon-cheese mixture and cover with remaining bread slices butter-side up.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Allow to cool for a minute before slicing into halves or quarters and serve warm.
