  3. Remove the hot skillet from the oven, add melted butter, and swirl to coat the bottom and sides.
  4. Pour the rested batter into the greased skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly.
  5. Sprinkle cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the batter evenly.
  6. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges puff up and turn golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven, let it rest for one minute, then slice and serve warm.
