Instructions
- Halve cucumber lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
- On a separate cutting board, cut bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch strips.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp), then onions and bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions brown and bacon is cooked through, 5-7 min.**
- Add half the vinegar and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Cook, until water is reduced, 1 min.
- Add fig spread and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) maple syrup. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Meanwhile, add butter, mustard and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) maple syrup in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Arrange buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut-side up.
- Spread butter mixture on cut sides of buns.
- Sprinkle cheese on top buns. Toast buns in the top of the oven until lightly golden and cheese melts, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!).
- Meanwhile, add remaining vinegar, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) maple syrup and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- Add spinach, cucumber and salad topping mix to the bowl with dressing. Toss to coat.
- Spread bacon-fig jam on bottom buns. Close with top buns.
- Halve melts, if desired.
- Divide melts and salad between plates.
