The French Blt

• 6 pieces thin sliced bacon
• 2 pieces good quality french bread, I used petit brecon but I think cibatta might work better
• 3 pieces nice cheese. I used fandango from the Pyrenees but think pepper jack would be good
• 6--8 small cherry tomatoes
• 1 mini bell pepper
• 1 handful chopped romain lettuce
• 1 splash balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 handful fresh basil
• good quality mayo

1. Put bacon into a skillet and cook till crispy. set aside and drain. While bacon is cooking, slice bread and put cheese over 1/2
2. grill the bread with the cheese in the bacon fat until bread is crisp on the bottom and cheese is melty on top
3. chop and mix all other ingredients EXCEPT the mayo in bowl
4. slather mayo on the non cheese 1/2 of the bread, Add the bacon slices, top with the veg.
5. Smoosh everything together to form a sandwich.
