Pimento Club Sandwich with Gochujang Glazed Bacon
Ingredients
3 slices bacon
3 slices white bread
3 tbsp bibigo™ Hot & Sweet Gochujang Sauce
3-4 tbsp Gochujang Pimento Spread, softened
2 slices turkey breast meat
2 slices tomato
2 leaves lettuce
Salt to taste
- To make bacon, preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with foil or parchment paper. Brush a thin layer of bibigo™ Hot & Sweet Gochujang Sauce on both sides. Bake for 10 minutes. Flip bacon and brush top with more sauce. Bake until color starts to darken, about 5 minutes. Brush with one more coat of sauce and bake to desired crispness, about 3–5 minutes. Remove and transfer to a plate. (Note: Bacon will get more crisp as it cools.)
- Toast slices of bread as desired.
- Apply an even layer of Gochujang Pimento Spread onto one of the bread slices. Top with lettuce and tomato. Break apart bacon as necessary and layer on top of sandwich. Apply Gochujang Pimento Spread onto another slice of bread and place face-down over bacon. Add more Gochujang Pimento Spread evenly on top. Top with turkey. On the remaining slice of bread, apply an even layer of Gochujang Pimento Spread and place on top of turkey.
- Cut into triangles and hold together with long sandwich picks.
