Use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut a hole in the center of four of the slices of bread and set aside.

Place a griddle (or large non-stick pan) over medium-low heat. Add 3 tablespoons of butter. Place the slices of the holey bread on the melted butter and carefully crack an egg into the center of each. If you don’t have a griddle big enough to cook all four sandwiches at once, you’ll have to work in batches. Cook until the bread is golden brown on the bottom and the egg white has set, about 3 to 5 minutes. Top each with a slice of cheese, three slices of bacon, another slice of cheese and the second slice of bread.

Carefully flip over each sandwich and add the remaining butter to the griddle, allowing it to melt and flow through the pan to coat the underside. Cook until the second side has browned and the cheese has melted through, about 3 minutes.

Season the egg side of each sandwich with a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve with a sprinkle of chives and ketchup and hot sauce on the side. Enjoy!
