Ingredients
Artisan or French Bread
4-6 slices bacon
4 tbsp mayonnaise
2 good tomatoes
4-6 basil leaves
What To Do
Cut one inch circles from thin slices of really good artisan bread or French bread. I used a rosemary potato bread. You want really firm bread! Crumble 4-6 slices of very crisp bacon into 4 heaping tablespoons of very good mayonnaise. Spoon onto bread rounds, top with finely diced tomatoes, sprinkle with kosher salt and cracked black, and top with a couple of fresh basil ribbons.
Basil Ribbons
Stack 4-6 fresh basil leaves, then gently roll up. Slice very thinly and use as garnish. Tasty!
