What You’ll Need

8-10 slices Daily's® Premium bacon, crispy cooked and crumbled

3-4 Roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and chopped (about 1 1/3 cup)
1 cup chopped leafy green lettuce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/3 cup favorite crumble cheese, blue cheese or feta, (optional)

Approximately 1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 package (16-oz.) twin French bread loaves, cut in 1/4-inch slices

Directions

In a medium bowl, stir together bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, basil, garlic, salt, pepper and cheese; set aside. 

Brush olive oil on both sides of bread slices; place on baking sheet. Bake at 400ºF, turning once, for 7 minutes per side or until crisp and golden brown; cool. 

Spoon about 1 tablespoon tomato topping on each toast round. Or, serve topping in a small bowl, surrounded by the toast rounds. 


Tailgate Tip
Prepare and refrigerate topping ingredients and bake toast rounds ahead of time. For best flavor, stir together topping ingredients just before serving.
