There's perhaps no better or more reliable lunch option than the simple sandwich, which can be elevated to a whole new level by adding a few bacon pieces. A well-prepared sandwich, in my opinion. As the saying goes, "Everything tastes better with bacon."
“Even apocalypse looks less dire when viewed over a plate of bacon.” ― Stephanie Stamm, A Gift of Wings
I have not yet mastered making them uniform but I've gotten pretty good overall at making ciabatta rolls!
[ID: A stove top with a cooling rack on it; on top of the rack are a number of ciabatta rolls, many of them misshapen and none of them a uniform shape or size.]
ayesebastien on tiktok reminds me so much of ethan if ethan found out he was half italian
SO REAL
the whole “ciabatta” thing. he eats nothing but those sandwiches for a solid two weeks, always looking over at you with his eyebrows raised and his eyes squinted teasingly when you ask what he wants for lunch. and there’s absolutely no reason for him to handle the fresh bread with bare hands, but he does it anyway to “build up endurance” because it’s “part of his culture”
Recipe: TOASTED CIABATTA WITH OLIVE OIL RICOTTA WITH CREAM CHEESE AND CHIVES + SALT ARUGULA, PROSCIUTTO SCRAMBLED EGGS SHALLOTS ROASTED WITH OLIVE OIL AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR + SALT SMOKED FLAKEY SALT ON TOP. Loved it!!!
