# Instructions:
01 -
Allow all cheeses to reach room temperature for approximately 15 minutes to ensure even melting.
02 -
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange bacon strips on a baking sheet and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until crisp. Set aside.
03 -
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat to prepare for sandwich assembly.
04 -
Generously spread softened butter onto one side of each bread slice.
05 -
Place bread slices butter-side down on the heated skillet. On half of the slices, layer sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Provolone cheeses. Add 2 strips of crispy bacon per sandwich atop the cheese, then drizzle with ranch dressing. Cover with remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
06 -
Cook sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
07 -
Remove sandwiches from heat and allow to rest for 1 minute. Cut diagonally and serve immediately while cheese remains warm and stretchy.
