# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Allow all cheeses to reach room temperature, approximately 15 minutes before starting.
02 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange bacon strips on a baking tray and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until crispy. Set aside.
03 -
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
04 -
Generously butter one side of each bread slice.
05 -
Place half of the bread slices butter-side down on the skillet. Layer sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Provolone cheeses evenly. Add 2 strips of crispy bacon per sandwich, then drizzle ranch dressing over the bacon and cheese. Top each with remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
06 -
Cook sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side until golden and crisp. Flip carefully and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the second side is golden and cheeses are fully melted.
07 -
Remove sandwiches from the skillet and let rest for 1 minute. Cut diagonally and serve immediately while cheese remains warm and melty.
