1. Prepare the halloumi by slicing it into ¼-inch thick pieces. Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle olive oil, and cook the halloumi slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. In the final minute of cooking, drizzle honey over the halloumi for a sweet, crispy finish.
2. Cook the bacon in a separate skillet until it reaches your desired crispness. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
3. Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and toast them lightly until crisp and golden brown. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each roll to add creaminess and prevent sogginess.
4. Begin assembling the sandwich by placing the crispy bacon on the bottom half of the ciabatta rolls. Follow with the honey-drizzled halloumi slices.
5. Add layers of marinated roasted tomatoes and grilled artichokes for a briny, tangy flavor.
6. Top with a handful of fresh arugula or spinach leaves to introduce a burst of freshness and a peppery touch.
7. For an optional step, you can place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and warm them in a 350°F oven for a few minutes to meld the flavors together and keep the cheese and bacon warm.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your Honey Toasted Halloumi & Bacon Sandwiches with Marinated Veggies.
