Bacon, Peach and Arugula Sandwiches
You can never have too many main course recipes, so give Bacon, Peach and Arugul Head to the store and pick up multigrain bread, peaches, lime juice, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the peaches you could follow this main course with the Easy As Pie Peaches as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 20 minutes.
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning a few times until crisp, about 8 minutes.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then cut each slice in half. While the bacon is cooking, pulse the basil, olive oil, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a mini food processor (or finely chop the basil and whisk with the other ingredients) until smooth.
Add the mayonnaise and pulse until just combined. Toast the bread and spread evenly with the basil mayonnaise. Divide the peaches, bacon and arugula among half of the bread slices; top with the remaining bread slices.
