Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the strip of bacon in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium.
- Cook the bacon for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until it's crispy.
- Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. When cool enough to handle, crumble or chop into bite-sized pieces.
- While the bacon is cooking, toast the slice of multi-grain bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown and crispy.
- Wash the fig thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Slice the fig into thin rounds, aiming for about 1/8-inch thickness.
- Spread the tablespoon of mayonnaise salad dressing evenly over the toasted multi-grain bread.
- Layer the fig slices evenly on top of the mayonnaise.
- Scatter the crumbled or chopped bacon over the fig slices.
- Place the thin slices of mozzarella cheese over the bacon and fig layers.
- Top the toast with a generous handful of fresh arugula.
- Optionally, drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over the arugula for added flavor.
- Serve the toast immediately while the bacon is still slightly warm and crispy.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe figs for the best sweetness and texture.
- Opt for high-quality bacon to enhance the savory profile of the dish.
- Toast the multi-grain bread to your preferred level of crispiness.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as goat cheese or feta, for a unique twist.
- Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an extra layer of flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to evenly slice the figs and mozzarella for a well-balanced bite.
