Ingredients

4 slices pancetta, thinly sliced (or bacon)
1 tablespoon honey
vegetable oil, if needed to cook the pancetta, omit if using bacon
1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
1/2 cup mango, diced
1/4 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, diced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, plus extra for spreading on bread if desired
1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained, cut into thin strips
8 fresh basil leaves, cut into think strips
6 slices whole wheat bread, lightly toasted
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Directions

1

Brush honey over pancetta slices, heat a skillet over fairly high heat, add a tiny drop of oil and cook pancetta just a few seconds on each side until it gets crispy (be careful not to burn -- it burns very, very easily), drain on paper towels.
2

Combine lobster, mango, cucumbers, mayo, salt and pepper to taste.
3

In another bowl, mix together lettuce, sun dried tomatoes, and basil.
4

Grab some long toothpicks and 2 plates -- you will be stacking 2 sandwiches.
5

Spread a little extra mayo on 2 of the toast slices (if desired), then top each with the lobster mixture, another piece of toast on top of that, then the lettuce mixture,the pancetta, then the remaining toast pieces.
6

Stick 2 long toothpicks into each sandwiches to hold them together, then use a serrated knife to cut each sandwich into halves (with a toothpick holding together each half).
7

(If you don't have toothpicks that are long enough, try a bamboo skewer instead).
8

Remove toothpicks before eating.
