Roasted Red Pepper, Baby Arugula, Goat Cheese Sandwich with Optional Bacon
Roasted Red Pepper, Baby Arugula, Goat Cheese Sandwich with Optional Bacon
Inspired by a BLT, but not really a BLT at all. Chewy ciabatta bread is loaded with orgeous roasted red peppers, zippy arugula, creamy goat cheese, a little olive oil and black pepper, and bacon - if you choose.

Directions: Slice the ciabatta bread in half lengthwise and then cut about a five-inch hunk of bread for each sandwich. Lay sandwich inside-up and begin layering. First, add a couple of layers of the roasted red peppers. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. I add a little more salt for the veggie sandwich, and just a tad for the carnivore's sandwich because it will have the natural saltiness of bacon, too. Pile a handful of arugula onto each sandwich, then crumble the goat cheese onto the arugula, dividing evenly between the two sandwiches. Lay the bacon on top, if using. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of the olive oil from the roasted red peppers onto the top of the whole thing and lightly dust with black pepper. Close up those sandwiches, slice in half, and serve!
