Bacon, Fig, and Arugula Sandwiches
These Bacon, Fig, and Arugula Sandwiches offer a delightful mix of flavors, combining crispy bacon with sweet fig preserves, creamy goat cheese, and the peppery bite of arugula, all nestled in a French baguette.
Servings: 4 sandwiches
Equipment
- Serrated bread knife
Ingredients
- 1 baguette 22 inches in length
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons fig preserves
- 16 slices thick-cut, cooked bacon
- 1 (5-ounce) container of crumbled goat cheese
- 2 cups loosely packed arugula or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
Instructions
- Slice the baguette into four equal sections and cut each piece in half horizontally. Place the slices on a rimmed baking sheet, cut side up, brush the cut sides with oil, and broil under the broiler element until lightly toasted; allow to cool slightly.
- For each sandwich, spread 1 tablespoon of fig preserves, then layer 4 slices of bacon, 2 tablespoons of goat cheese, and ½ cup of arugula on the bottom halves. For the top halves, spread 1 ½ teaspoons of mustard before placing them on top of the arugula. Serve immediately or wrap the sandwiches in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Sandwiches are best the day they are made. However, they can be tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
