If you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know how much I love BACON! I literally love it! I can eat it all by itself or I can make a sandwich with it. BLTs are classic sandwiches. I feel like when someone hears you made a BLT for dinner, the immediate response is “Oh that sounds so good!” It’s just the truth!! I made this fancy verison of a BLT. I kicked it up a few notches with the one! Feel free to add more or less of an ingredient. I love arugula so I add a lot and I love bacon so I add a few slices! More bacon the better!
You will want to give it a try. The flavors in the sandwich will be an explosion!
Fancy BLT with Arugula & Fresh Mozzarella (Minus the L)
Ingredients:
Yeilds 2 Sandwiches
4 slices sour dough bread
8 slices, bacon cooked, crispy
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh arugula
4-6 slices fresh mozzarella
1.5 T extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves
2 t Italian Seasonings
1 t salt
Directions: Preheat oven 400. In a small bowl mix together 1 T extra virgin olive oil and Italian seasoning. Set aside. Take the garlic cloves and cut off the top exposing the flesh of the garlic. Rub the garlic on the sourdough bread, both sides. Next brush the olive oil mixture on the bread to fully coat on both sides. Place in the oven for 4-6 minutes until it gets crisp. Then add 2-3 slices of fresh mozzarella to 2 of the pieces of bread. Heat another 2-3 minutes (optional, this is just to lightly melt the cheese)
In another bowl add the arugula, (more or less if you prefer) drizzle with remaining half table spoon of olive oil and season with salt. Set aside.
Once the bread is done, remove from the oven and assemble the sandwich. Add half the arugula mixture to both pieces of bread on top of the fresh mozzarella, next add 2 slices of the tomato and 3-4 slices of bacon. Top with other slices of bread and cut in half and enjoy! It’s a beautiful looking sandwich and it taste even better then in looks!
