Ingredients

• 2 pieces ciabatta rolls
• 4 slices bacon
• 4 slices Gouda cheese
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium tomato
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Arrange the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until crispy. Remove from the oven and drain excess grease on paper towels.

Step 3

While the bacon is cooking, cut the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally. Spread butter on the cut side of each half.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined.

Step 5

Slice the tomato into thin rounds.

Step 6

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the buttered ciabatta halves, buttered side down, onto the skillet to toast them. Toast each piece until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Once toasted, remove the ciabatta from the skillet and spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on each cut half.

Step 8

On the bottom half of each roll, layer 2 slices of Gouda cheese, 2 slices of bacon, several tomato slices, and 2 pieces of lettuce.

Step 9

Season the filling with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 10

Place the top half of the ciabatta roll on the assembled sandwich.

Step 11

Optionally, return the assembled sandwiches to the oven on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese further and warm the sandwiches.

Step 12

Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
