a new nothing with a speckled handle

I saw this recipe made on Everyday Food and I thought, "I bet I could make that even better!" And so, tonight I did. I took the original recipe and added a few more veggies, cheese and changed the tomato topping. There are a few tweaks I might make next time, but overall, it was easy, healthy and fun to make. I have posted my version of it below. 2 tsps olive oil 1/2 medium onion, diced 1/4 green pepper, diced (It would probably be better with a red pepper for sweetness.) 1 carrot, diced 5 slices bacon 8 eggs 2 Tbsp water 1 cup mozzarella cheese Kosher salt and pepper, to taste 1/2 cup ricotta cheese 1-2 cups spaghetti sauce Preheat oven to 350°. In a 12" ovensafe nonstick skillet, heat 2 tsps olive oil. Cook carrot until soft, about 5 minutes. Add onion and pepper or any other veggies and cook until soft.

it has been so hot here lately, i've been trying to find recipes and make meals that don't use the oven. i found this recipe the other day, and since we love BLTs so much, i knew this, too, would be a hit. layt likes to call it the BELT (bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato). even though i've never seen the movie, i like to call it the spanglish. slices of good quality bread, lightly toasted slices of cheese (recipe calls for monterey jack. i used baby swiss.) bacon lettuce tomato fried egg mayo and mustard salt and pepper turn oven to 350 degrees. melt cheese on the bread. meanwhile on the other half, layer mayo, mustard, bacon, lettuce, tomato and a little salt and pepper. make a fried egg, just until egg yolk is slightly runny. put the egg on top of the tomato. top with cheese toast and enjoy! a great alternative to the BLT.
