Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to absorb excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the bacon is cooking, slice the avocado, sweet cucumber, tomato, and fresh jalapeno. For the jalapeno, you may choose to remove the seeds if you prefer less heat.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rolls

    Slice the French rolls in half lengthwise, ready for filling.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 1 tablespoon of citrus aioli on the inside of each French roll. Layer the avocado slices, followed by the sweet cucumber, tomato, jalapeno, and bacon slices. Top with provolone cheese.

  2. 5

    Final Touch

    Spread the remaining tablespoon of citrus aioli on the top half of the roll, then close the sandwich.

Serving
