directions
Step 1
In skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat; in 2 batches, cook bacon, turning once, until cooked through and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and bacon. Cut bacon into quarters.
Step 2
Wipe out skillet; return to stovetop over medium-high heat. Add syrup, bourbon and mustard, stirring to combine. Return bacon to skillet; bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, turning to coat, until most of the liquid has evaporated and has formed a glaze for the bacon, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Stack and sandwich bacon, cheese and pickle in each bun. Secure each with tomato-skewered toothpick.
