1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels to drain excess grease.
2
Prepare the Bread
While the bacon is cooking, toast the slices of bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
3
Slice the Mozzarella and Tomatoes
Slice the fresh mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Slice the vine ripe tomatoes into thick slices.
4
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread a generous amount of sundried tomato aioli on one side of each toasted bread slice. On two slices, layer the crispy bacon, slices of mozzarella, tomato, and a handful of arugula. Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar.
5
Finish the Sandwich
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of toasted bread, aioli side down. Press gently to secure the layers.
