Ingredients

Serves 2 sandwiches

The green goddess spread:

  • 1 Head of roasted garlic
  • 2 tbsp Pesto
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 4 oz Goat cheese
  • Salt
  • Pepper

The rest

  • 1 Cup Cherry tomatoes
  • Bread of choice
  • 1/4 cup Good olive oil
  • 4 Slices of bacon
  • Handful of arugula

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400. Slice the top off your head of garlic. Add to a cocotte with cherry tomatoes. Add a nice glug of olive oil (enough to coat the tomatoes and garlic) and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 35-40 min or until the garlic is softened and the tomatoes are jammy and browned. (see note)
  • Combine green goddess spread ingredients to a food processor, including the now roasted garlic. Squeeze that out of the skin into the processor. Blend until combined. Season to taste.
  • Add bacon slices to a pan and cook for about 5 min per side on medium heat (or to desired crispiness) Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
  • Toast bread and add spread to both pieces. Add jammy tomatoes, slices of bacon and a handful of arugula. Close sandwich and that's it. Enjoy!

Notes

Note: If you don't have a mini cocotte, simply roast the cherry tomatoes and garlic in a small oven-safe baking dish or skillet, making sure they're nestled in the olive oil as directed.
 
Storage:
  • This sandwich is best enjoyed right after assembling, so we recommend eating it as fresh as possible. If you have leftover assembled sandwiches, wrap them tightly in plastic or parchment paper and store in the fridge for up to 1 day.
  • Ideally, store leftover sandwich components separately in airtight containers in the fridge until ready to assemble and serve again.
  • You can roast the garlic, make the spread and cook the bacon in advance to save time — do this up to a day in advance. Store each component in airtight containers in the fridge, then when ready to eat, assemble the sandwich and serve.
Tips:
  • To make this a little lighter, you could serve as a lettuce wrap instead of bread. It would also make it even more of a BLT!
