Ingredients
| ½ ball | of mozzarella, sliced |
|---|---|
| 3 slices | streaky bacon |
| 12 cm/5 inch length | of ciabatta |
| 1-2 tbsp | pesto |
| 1 | tomato, sliced |
| Handful of | rocket |
| Salt and freshly ground black pepper |
Essential kit
You will need a sandwich press
Method
Place the sliced mozzarella on some kitchen paper to absorb excess moisture while you get on with preparing the rest of your sandwich.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the bacon and fry for about 6 minutes until crisp on both sides, then place on a clean piece of kitchen paper to drain.
Heat a sandwich press. Cut the ciabatta in half horizontally and spread both cut sides with pesto. Add the mozzarella, bacon, sliced tomato and some salt and pepper to the bottom half of ciabatta, add the rocket and put the other ciabatta half on top.
Toast in the sandwich press for 5–7 minutes until the cheese is gooey and the bread is crisp.
