Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pesto Aioli

   In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and pesto until well combined. Set aside.

2. 2

   Toast the Ciabatta

   Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Brush one side of each ciabatta slice with olive oil and sprinkle minced garlic on top. Place the slices in the skillet, garlic side down, and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon

   In the same skillet, add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

4. 4

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Spread the pesto aioli on the toasted side of each ciabatta slice. Layer with crispy bacon, sliced tomatoes, avocado, fresh mozzarella, and arugula. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

5. 5

   Finish and Serve

   Top with the second slice of ciabatta, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.
