Preparation

Step 1

Start a charcoal grill. Lightly brush the bread slices with 1 teaspoon of garlic or olive oil and brush the mushrooms with the rest. Grill the bread until toasted, about 1 minute per side. Grill the mushrooms until tender, about 4 minutes per side. Let cool. Slice into 1-inch-thick strips.

In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the arugula and toss to coat. Divide half the arugula on half the bread. Top each with 1 slice of bacon, the remaining arugula and the remaining bread.

Serve immediately.
