2 English Muffin
2 Slices Mozzarella Cheese

Sea Salt
1/4 Red Onion Finely Sliced
Small Handful of Fresh Basil Hand Torn
1T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1t Balsamic Vinegar
Crispy Bacon To Serve

Sandwich mozzarella slices between split English muffins. Shallow fry on both sides until golden brown. If necessary, finish in the oven to allow cheese to melt.
Serve with tomato salad and bacon.
Notes
The tomato salad can be made with or without onion, you could add a thinly sliced fresh red chili, finely chopped garlic or other fresh herbs such as marjoram. Any of these combinations would make a great topping for bruschetta.
