Okay.... so this is definitely NOT a clever or snappy name... but I have no idea what to call this one. I have recently been the recipient of a steady stream of some of the juiciest, reddest, sweetest homegrown tomatoes ever, and I can't get enough of them. It was a busy morning, so by the time I got things done, breakfast time was a distant memory; but I wanted something a little more substantial than those two cups of coffee from three hours ago to hold me until lunch time. So let's see what I had on hand, in the fridge, and in the herb garden.
This brunch sandwich certainly filled the bill; and let me just go ahead and tell you - it was FABULOUS!
 |
| My favorite store-bought basil pesto |
 |
| A light, fluffy egg scramble - salt, pepper, dried basil |
 |
| A lightly toasted piece of french bread |
 |
| Add the basil immediately to the hot toast and it will begin to melt into the bread. Yum. |
 |
| Top with the hot egg |
 |
| Add bacon (pancetta would be in keeping with the Italian theme, but this was left over from the kids' breakfast) |
 |
| Broiled tomatoes - a little olive oil (can even use the spray olive oil in the can), salt, pepper, dried basil. |
 |
| Top the bacon with the broiled tomatoes |
 |
| I added ribbons of freshly picked basil from my garden |
 |
| Top with a little freshly grated pecorino romano cheese. (could use parmesan, asiago, etc) |
 |
| finish off with freshly cracked black pepper! |
Man, oh Man! Was this ever a great sandwich!! My day just went from good to stellar!!
