Bacon Peach And Arugula Sandwiches Recipes

ROASTED VEGETABLE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet in the upper third of the oven and another in the lower third; preheat to 450˚. Toss the squash, carrots, olive oil, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Put the squash on one of the baking sheets and the carrots on the other, spreading the vegetables in a single layer. Roast, switching the pans halfway through, until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese with the dill in a small bowl. A few minutes before the vegetables are done, toast the bread, then spread with the cream cheese mixture. Toss the spinach with the vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
• Lay out 4 slices of bread, cream cheese-side up. Top each with a layer of beets, then the squash, carrots, spinach and another slice of bread. Cut in half.

ROASTED RED PEPPER, BABY ARUGULA, & GOAT CHEESE SANDWICHES WITH OPTIONAL BACON

Steps:

• Slice the ciabatta bread in half lengthwise and then cut about a five-inch hunk of bread for each sandwich. Lay sandwich inside-up and begin layering.
• First, add a couple of layers of the roasted red peppers. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. I add a little more salt for the veggie sandwich, and just a tad for the carnivore's sandwich because it will have the natural saltiness of bacon, too. Pile a handful of arugula onto each sandwich, then crumble the goat cheese onto the arugula, dividing evenly between the two sandwiches. Lay the bacon on top, if using. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of the olive oil from the roasted red peppers onto the top of the whole thing and lightly dust with black pepper.
• Close up those sandwiches, slice in half, and serve!

PEACH AND ARUGULA SALAD WITH CRISPY PANCETTA AND GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate, and reserve the oil.
• Vinaigrette: Whisk together the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and honey in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the peaches with some of the vinaigrette add the arugula and toss to combine. Transfer the greens to a platter, top with the peach halves and sprinkle the top with the gorgonzola and crispy pancetta. Serve with toast schmeared with fig preserves and gorgonzola.

PEACH AND BACON FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven the 425 degrees F.
• Break the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Whisk in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the peaches and chives and stir to combine.
• Place the bacon in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until the bacon is crispy and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Return the pan to the heat and add the egg mixture. Cook for 1 minute, slowly scraping the bottom of the pan with the spatula. Smooth the top of the frittata and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the center is just set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing.
