Instructions

Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. Press the buttered side into everything bagel seasoning to coat.
Place one slice, seasoning side down, in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Layer on half the cheddar, half the mozzarella, scrambled egg (if using), crispy bacon, then top with the remaining cheese.
Place the second slice of bread on top, seasoning side up.
Grill for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from pan, slice, and serve hot!

Notes

Use a mix of cheeses like gouda or provolone for added depth of flavor.
For a vegetarian version, skip the bacon and add sliced tomato or avocado.
Everything bagel seasoning can be found premade or made with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt.
