Directions

1. Finely grate the Parmesan cheese.
2. Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels and reserve the skillet with drippings.
3. Melt the butter in an extra-large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4 slices of bread and top each with 2 slices of provolone cheese. Sprinkle with black pepper and cook until the cheese melts, about 3 to 4 minutes.
