Ingredients
- 3 slices smoked bacon
- 2 slices bread sourdough is good
- ½ tablespoon olive oil approx
- 2 tablespoon romesco sauce approx, see separate recipe or store-bought
- 1 handful arugula rocket
- 5 slices smoked cheddar approx (or can use a sharp cheddar or other similar hard cheese)
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
