FIVE STARS is not enough!!! We have had this several times in the past month because it is so great and easy to make. I make it on Kaiser rolls!!

Because I am one to change ANY recipe, I did the following: 1. used minced garlic and added it to the cream cheese, 2. Sprayed the slices of bread with baking spray, and toasted under the broiler. I would also suggest that the lettuce be chopped pretty finely, or follow the pic and put the lettuce on the bread/cheese before adding the tomato/bacon mixture.

I made this for a bacon potluck at work. Everyone LOVED it!

I mixed the garlic with tomato, bacon, lettuce & dressing. Also I used mayo instead of cream cheese. It's more like the traditional bruschetta but with bacon. Excellent appetizer for summer time entertaining.
