At first we weren’t sure whether to call this a Pesto BLT or a Bacon Caprese, but whatever you call it, it’ll definitely be delicious. Crispy bacon paired with a chunky pesto walnut spread, fresh tomatoes, and creamy mozzarella makes for a fresh, flavorful sandwich that you’ll never want to end.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Sandwich Rounds, toasted (any flavor works!)

• Pesto walnut spread (recipe below)

• 1-2 pieces of crispy bacon

• 1 oz fresh mozzarella, torn

• 1 small tomato, sliced

• Fresh arugula

PREPARATION:

1. Take your toasted Sandwich Rounds and set side by side. On one of them, add the pesto, tomatoes, bacon, cheese, and arugula. Top with the remaining Sandwich Round. Enjoy!
