This recipe is from the August/September issue of Sandra Lee's magazine. It is so delicious and so unique. This is great for having company over as it is a great presentation, is tasty and is pretty easy to make. The lemon zest makes it as does the capers, spinach and bacon pieces. Oh so good. Impress the in-laws, dinner party guests or just you. Enjoy ChefDLH Ingredients:
