Bacon
The French BLT
- Serves 2
Author Notes
Faced with having to take a dish to a wedding picnic over the weekend, a good friend in CA sent me this link http://theviewfromgreatisland.com/2013/08/summer-tomato-focaccia.html . As it turns out, Baking and I really just don't get on well together. Possibly due to me never being able to find measureing spoons/cups and whatnot. It still looks like something yummy nd friend says she's mde it 3 times last week. So, here I am with a gazillion tiny tomatoes and some really cute yellow and orange mini bell peppers. Hmmm? Hubby working at home today so lunch was in order. Voila! Farmers market sourced BLTs. —sansan123
