Here is your recipe for today ... I love to have breakfast every once in a while for dinner..will let you know tomorrow what  your recipes will be for the rest of the week... OPEN FACED BACON AND EGG SANDWICHS

• 5 bacon slices, halved crosswise
• 1 (4-inch) square ciabatta or focaccia bread, halved horizontally
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 4 large thin tomato slices
• 1 small shallot, chopped
• 1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 cup (packed) arugula
• 2 large eggs
• Parmesan cheese shavings

Preparation

Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until brown and crisp; transfer to paper towels to drain.

Wipe out skillet. Brush cut sides of bread with 1 tablespoon oil. Place bread, cut sides down, in skillet. Cook over medium heat until golden, about 3 minutes. Place 1 bread square, golden side up, on each of 2 plates. Top each with half of bacon, then 2 tomato slices.

Whisk 1 tablespoon oil, shallot, and vinegar in medium bowl to blend. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Add arugula and toss to coat.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until whites are set and yolks are cooked as desired. Top each bread stack with egg, then arugula and cheese.

TIPSY TUESDAY

Whenever barbecuing, use tongs to turn the meat. A fork should
never be used. For it will punch holes in the flesh and allow
the natural juices to escape and loose flavor and become chewy

Have to head down to the basement to work ... short week and then we are heading off to the states for the weekend and hope to leave in the late afternoon so that is like a half a day work...

Enjoy

Cheers
