Method

Arrange the bacon strips in a single layer in a large skillet. Cook the bacon over medium-high heat, turning the slices occasionally so they cook evenly, until they reach your desired level of crispiness. This should take about 10 minutes. Once the bacon is cooked, transfer the slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess grease.
4 Strips Bacon
In a large nonstick pan or griddle, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Once the butter is melted, place the Kaiser rolls, cut sides down, in the pan. Make sure the rolls are arranged in a single layer so they toast evenly. Toast the rolls until they are lightly golden brown and slightly crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove the rolls from the pan and set them aside.
4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, 2 Kaiser Rolls
For each sandwich, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Pour half of the whisked eggs into the pan. Cook the eggs as if you were making an omelet, using a spatula to push the cooked egg to the side of the pan and allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Once the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny on top, layer 1 slice of cheese, 2 slices of bacon, and another slice of cheese onto one half of the cooked egg. Using the spatula, gently fold the other half of the egg over the top of the cheese and bacon. Carefully slide the folded egg onto a toasted Kaiser roll. Wrap the sandwich in aluminum foil to steam it and melt the cheese. Repeat this process with the remaining sandwich ingredients.
4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, 4 Large Eggs, 4 Slices American Cheese
For a beautiful presentation, slice the sandwich in half diagonally. Serve with a side of ketchup for dipping or spreading.
