Ingredients

Instructions

In a large nonstick sauté pan, cook pancetta over medium-high heat until brown and crisp, reducing heat if necessary to prevent burning. Drain on paper towels, and let cool.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate in microwave oven at 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Brush melted chocolate onto top side of cooled bacon. Let chocolate cool and set.
Using a 2¼-inch round cutter, cut 16 rounds from frozen bread. (Cover with damp paper towels, or store in resealable plastic bag to prevent drying out during assembly.)
Spread Caramelized Shallot-Sherry Aïoli onto each bread round. On 8 bread rounds (aïoli sides up), arrange ingredients in the following order: arugula leaves, a piece of ham folded in half and gathered into a ruffle, and a pancetta slice (chocolate side up). Top each with a remaining bread round (aïoli side down).
Garnish each with a baby arugula leaf, if desired.
