Instructions

Cook the bacon as you prefer - either under the broiler/grill or in a pan. Cook until lightly crisp.
Drizzle some olive oil on one side of each slice of bread and rub to coat evenly - this will become the outside of the toast.
On the other side of both slices, spread a layer of romesco sauce.
Then layer up the filling - on one side place a handful of arugula, then the bacon then the cheese and place the other slice of bread, romesco sauce side inside, on top.
Cook for a few minutes on each side in a skillet/frying pan, grill pan or sandwich toaster as you prefer until brown on each side. Cover with a lid to help the cheese melt if you prefer.

Notes

Note - Quantities are approximate as it will depend on the size of your bread, whether homemade sauce and amounts used etc to taste. Try my tasty romesco sauce recipe in these.
