This Toasted Ciabatta Sandwich With Artichokes and Bacon makes the most delicious weekend brunch imaginable. Artichokes and bacon should be best friends forever. You’ve got to try this sandwich – you’ll never look back!

📝 Ingredients

• 4 slices bread (any kind)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or use butter instead)
• 4 slices cheese (any, but make sure it’s tasty!)
• 3.5 ounces bacon (I used 4 slices)
• 5 ounces artichokes (chopped, in oil or brine (I used about half a 275 gram jar))
• onion relish (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pre-heat a sandwich press or grill / frying pan.
2. 2Cook the bacon for 5 to 10 minutes or until starting to crisp (either on the sandwich press or grill / frying pan you're going to use to cook your sandwich).
3. 3Drizzle the olive oil over the bread and spread a little with a knife (alternatively, spread with butter).
4. 4Turn the slices of bread over so the olive oiled side is facing down, then spread with a little onion relish (if using, but highly recommended!).
5. 5Top with 1 slice of cheese, the bacon, artichokes, and finally another slice of cheese.
6. 6Top with the other 2 slices of bread (oiled side up) and cook until the cheese has melted and the top of the sandwich is nicely browned.
