Slice the bacon into inch to inch and a half strips, then cut the strips into inch to inch and a half pieces.
Carefully remove the rind with a sharp knife. Please keep your fingers intact! Then cut each cube in half.
In a large pan, brush in about a teaspoon of olive oil and heat over medium high. When the pan is hot, add the cubes of bacon to sear. Flip them over to sear the other side, then pop the whole shebang into the 500F oven for 15 minutes or so, until crispy.
While the bacon is roasting, slice the haloumi and grill each slice in the cast iron skillet.
On your serving plate, lay down 4 or 5 leaves of baby arugula. Place the cheese atop that, add 4 cubes of bacon, and garnish with a couple pickled green tomatoes.
OM NOM NOM NOM!
