Ingredients

Serves 2 sandwiches
  • 4 strips of bacon
  • 2 tbsp pesto (recipe for homemade below)
  • 4 slices of tomato
  • 1/2 cup arugula

Homemade pesto

  • 1 cup basil leaves
  • 3/4 cup EVOO
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • Sea salt and pepper

Instructions 

  • If you are making your pesto from scratch blend pesto ingredients in a food processor and season to taste. You can also skip this step and use store bought pesto.
  • Add strips of bacon to a skillet and cook on medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once bacon reaches your desired crispiness, transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Toast bagel and add a layer of pesto to both sides. Add slices of tomato and the strips of bacon, then a handful of arugula. Close sandwich and enjoy!
  • Optional sandwich adds: avocado, cheese or adding a fried egg.
