Ingredients

4 servings

2 slices bacon 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese 2 leaves fresh basil, minced salt and ground black pepper to taste 2 thick slices crusty bread 2 tablespoons olive oil ¼ cup ricotta cheese

Chicken and Pepper Fajitas

Instructions

Step 1

Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Turn it every now and then until it’s nicely browned and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes. Once it’s done, transfer the bacon to some paper towels to drain and let it cool a bit before crumbling it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

While the bacon is cooling, mix together the cherry tomatoes, Parmesan, chopped basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. This will be your fresh, flavorful topping.

Step 3

Next, heat up a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of your bread slices with olive oil, then grill them a few minutes on each side until you see those nice grill marks and the bread is toasted.

Step 4

Spread a generous layer of ricotta cheese on each piece of toast. Spoon the tomato mixture over the ricotta, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top. Cut the toasts in half if you like, and they’re ready to enjoy!
