This is an idea that is hugely popular. We once had it on our menu at my college's student-run restaurant. It is a great combination of Italian flavors that is used in many ways. This is one of them. It is basil (in the form of pesto), mozzarella cheese, and tomatoes. Only in this case I am substituting the tomatoes for bacon. I am not fond of that raw tomato taste. You can of course add some tomato slices. Start out with some crusty bread like Tuscan or Ciabatta bread. I had a french baguette so that is what I used. Spread the pesto over each slice of the bread and put the slices on a toaster oven baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes until bread is warmed through. In the meantime, fry up four rashers (slices) of bacon. If you wish, slice about two thick slices of tomato. Take the bread out of the oven top with tomato slices, bacon, and mozzarella cheese. In the restaurant we used slices of thick buffalo mozzarella, I had shredded cheese, so that is what I used. Place under the broiler for about a minute until the cheese melts. Serve open faced, or sandwich them together. It is a great flavor sensation. The salty bacon plays very well with the basil pesto, and the creamy mozzarella. Please try this one. You will end up making it all the time! Enjoy...

Felt a bit peckish, so I thought I would make a quick snack...a Bacon Buddy. This is a classic British breakfast sandwich, but it is so quick I made it now. All it is is a BLT sandwich without the "L" or the "T". All you need is two or maybe three ingredients: 3-4 rashers (strips) of bacon, two slices of crusty bread and a bottle of HP Brown Sauce. HP Brown Sauce is to the British what Heinz Ketchup is to Americans. It is similar to A1 Steak sauce, but it has a more distinct and delicious taste. You can buy the Brown sauce online or at a specialty food store. Just fry up the bacon until it is crisp. Let it drain on a paper towel. Brown the bread lightly in the leftover bacon drippings. Then arrange the bacon rashers on the bread and drizzle the delicious HP sauce over the bacon and top with the other slice of bread. Easy as can be and it only takes a few minutes. A bit unhealthy, but oh...so good!Cheers!
