OPEN FACED BACON TOMATO PEPPERONI & CHEESE BROIL

Steps:

• 1. Pre heat Broiler. Place bread on broiler pan or heavy cookie sheet and place under broiler to toast lightly. Place 2 slices of tomato on each halve of bread. Salt & pepper; place back under broiler so that the tomato just begin to warm, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• 2. Lay slices of bacon & pepperoni on top of the tomato.
• 3. Now, cover the top with slices of cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
• 4. Return to broiler and cook until the cheese melts and just starts to bubble, watch closely so that it doesn't burn, another 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

BACON CHEESE & TOMATO - BROILED OPEN FACE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Pre-heat broiler.
• Place bread on a broiler safe pan. Top each slice of bread with a slice of cheese then a slice of tomato. Depending on how big your tomato slice is you may want to put on two but keep it a single layer of tomato. Cut each slice of bacon into 2 pieces. Then lay 3 of the pieces on each sandwich. Broil until bacon is crisp and cheese melted. Bread and cheese may get a little burnt. That makes it better!
• Note: Originally I put raw bacon on the sandwich and cooked it all the way under the broiler. Now I cut the strips in half and partiality cook in micro-wave and then put on sandwich and broil to finish cooking.
