Bacon Mushroom and Tomato Medley

As with every year by the time the football season is over we are over egg and bacon for breakfast on a Sunday.  Today is the first Sunday since April we have our Sunday's back.  Don't get me wrong we love junior football but it takes the whole day with games, helping out and presentations on a Sunday evening.  It's for a good cause though - the kids.

This morning I decided to use a punnet of mixed tomatoes along with some mushrooms and bacon to create a lighter yet filling brunch.  Such a mixture of vegetables, some herbs, a little bacon all served on a toasted slice of Pane di Case - YUM!!

To be perfectly honest this would make a lovely pasta topping or as a side dish with a meat.
