Bacon and Egg on Toast ~ The Best of the Farmers Market

August is the peak of the season at my farmers market.

  Corn and peaches are coming in and booths are bursting

 at the seams with produce of all kinds.

I have a basic shopping list each week from which I can assemble most of the recipes

 that are my weekly favorites:

greens, usually frizee, arugula and leafy greens,

bread, eggs, cheese, bacon,

fruits and vegetables.

Lunch today is bacon and egg on toast,

so simple to put together.

Start with a thick, buttered slice of toasted bread,

Add a handful of fresh, crisp frizee and arugula

and bits of smoky bacon.

Top with a poached egg,

parmesan shavings, and 

a drizzle of your favorite vinaigrette.

Doesn't this look delicious?

My Favorite Vinaigrette

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon mustard

(I use a coarse grain fruity mustard)

1 teaspoon honey

chopped fresh herbs

sea salt and freshly ground pepper

2/3 cup olive oil

Whisk together vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper.

Slowly whisk in olive oil until dressing has a creamy consistency.

Add chopped herbs.

I use this dressing on my dinner salads, on vegetables, drizzled on sandwiches,

 spooned over ripe tomato slices

 or freshly cooked green beans.
