Baked Ricotta and Slow Roasted Thyme Tomatoes

 

 Hi All, here is a little light lunch meal that is easy and a little bit more special than the usual cheese and tomato toasties. The ricotta and tomatoes go great together. I have teamed them up with prosciutto and crunchy fresh bread, in an attempt to keep it simple. The pair are an excellent accompaniment on any share plate.

Egg and Bacon Pie

I really wanted to share the absolute delight of this bacon I brought from my local farmers market. It comes from a farm in West Gippsland, in Eastern Victoria, known as Gypsy Pig. They breed pigs and produce magnificent free range pork products. I have been very keen to get my hands on some free range bacon as I had been promised that the taste would be amazing.  The bacon, not surprisingly tastes like bacon, but better, stronger and full of flavour. I made this little egg and bacon pie for lunch for me and my brother and it was quickly devoured. You could sever it with a little green salad and tomato chutney.
