This is really a meal in itself, rich and delicious, and doesn't need anything more than a green salad and beverage of choice. Ingredients:
12 slices bacon |
1 lb potato, peeled thinly sliced, boiled in salted water 8 minutes and drained on paper |
2 lbs tomatoes, thinly sliced |
1/2 lb cheddar cheese, grated |
1/2 cup breadcrumbs |
4 tablespoons minced parsley |
1 1/2 tablespoons minced chives |
butter |
1/2 cup cream |
Directions:
1. Grill bacon until crisp and crumble.
2. Preheat oven to 375F and butter an earthenware dish.
3. Combine cheese and breadcrumbs, parsley, chives and season (I often add a minced clove of garlic, too).
4. First put a layer using 1/2 of the potatoes, then 1/3 of the tomatoes, sprinkle with 1/2 of cheese and 1/2 of bacon; repeat layering one more time in the same manner; finally, top with remaining tomatoes; drizzle cream over.
5. Bake 40-45 minutes, until tender and browned.
