Recipe Review

I was looking for a relatively light dish for dinner that would help me use up some of the Costco produce bounty from the week-end shopping trip (spinach and tomatoes) and the rest of the handmade mozzarella from the class I took. This fit the bill perfectly -- the mix of cooked bacon and garlicky spinach with fresh sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil was just great. I ended up using my husband's old "purchased on a whim" George Foreman grill and it worked perfectly for this sandwich. Fun to make ... more fun to eat.

I found this recipe on line - thanks AJ, it looks awesome. The linked recipe, though, does not mention basil (but what a great idea!). My DH requested BLTs for his birthday dinner, and this sounds like an excellent version.

I am glad to be reminded of this recipe as sumer approaches -- I just planted my basil, tarragon and rosemary yesterday and a couple of tomato plants.

We are currently obsessed with fresh burrata (sp?) on toasted ciabatta, drizzled with EVOO, a little S&P and chopped fresh basil. Our Costco carries the individual ciabattas and occasionally the burrata. Summer on a plate :-)
