Food

  1. 1

    Toast bread

    Split the focaccia slices in half to create two sandwich faces. Lightly toast the cut sides in a skillet or under a broiler until golden and crisp.

  2. 2

    Cook bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the thick-cut bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

  3. 3

    Prepare greens and tomatoes

    Rinse the lettuce and pat dry. Slice the tomato into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

  4. 4

    Assemble base with aioli

    Spread about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of tomato aioli on the cut side of each toasted focaccia half.

  5. 5

    Layer toppings

    On one half, place tomato slices, followed by romaine lettuce leaves and the crispy bacon. If desired, add a light pinch of salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Finish and serve

    Spread a little more aioli on the remaining focaccia half, place it on top to close the sandwich, press gently, cut in half, and serve immediately.
