    Default Bacon-Tomato Cheese Toasts These are really good.

    Bacon-Tomato Cheese Toasts

    2 ripe tomatoes
    Kosher salt
    8 strips bacon
    4 slices Texas toast or other thick sandwich bread
    3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
    3/4 cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
    3/4 cup mayonnaise
    5 scallions, finely chopped
    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    1/2 small zucchini, very thinly sliced
    Freshly ground pepper

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Core the tomatoes and thinly slice. Place in a colander in the sink and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt; let drain for at least 15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour off and reserve the drippings, leaving 1 tablespoon in the skillet; toast the bread on one side in the drippings until golden (do this in batches, adding more drippings as needed). Place the bread, toasted-side down, on a baking sheet.

    Combine the cheeses with the mayonnaise, scallions and parsley in a bowl. Spread the cheese mixture on the toasts, reserving about 1/3 cup. Crumble the bacon on top. Shake any excess liquid from the tomatoes; distribute the zucchini and tomatoes among the toasts. Dot with the reserved cheese mixture and season with pepper. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm

    Default The Texas toast is the kicker to this one. Otherwise,

    it would be just another sammie.
