Heat a large non-stick skillet (the same one used for bacon, if desired) over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter (or reserved bacon fat). Pour in 2 beaten eggs, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan. Immediately place two toasted bun halves, cut-side down, onto the cooking egg, spaced apart. Allow the egg to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until mostly set around the buns and edges.

Carefully fold one side of the egg over one of the bun halves. Place a slice of American cheese on top of the folded egg and bun. Add a few pieces of lettuce, then 2 to 3 strips of cooked bacon. Fold the other side of the egg over the fillings, creating an egg-wrapped sandwich. If needed, gently flip the sandwich to melt the cheese slightly and warm the fillings for about 30 seconds.

Transfer the omelet bun sandwich to a plate. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining ingredients for additional sandwiches. Serve immediately.
