Number Of Ingredients 17

Six 1-inch-thick slices good-quality ciabatta bread
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked
1 head butter lettuce
24 small cherry or grape tomatoes
Green Goddess Dip, for serving, recipe follows
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh dill
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup fresh tarragon leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons neutral oil
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Brush both sides of the bread with the olive oil. Place on a baking sheet fitted with a rack. Bake until lightly toasted, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool, then cut each slice into bite-size pieces.
Cut each slice of bacon into 4 pieces. Remove 12 nice leaves from the head of lettuce. Cut each lettuce leaf into 2 pieces. Skewer a piece of bread onto each of twenty-four 4-inch skewers. Carefully roll up the lettuce pieces and place one on each skewer, followed by a piece of bacon and a tomato. Serve with Green Goddess Dip.
Combine the buttermilk, yogurt, basil, dill, parsley, tarragon, mustard and vinegar in a blender and blend for about 15 seconds. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the neutral oil and extra-virgin olive oil until the mixture is emulsified. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve chilled.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon(s) olive oil, extra virgin
1 pound(s) (1/2-inch-thick) sliced pancetta, cut into 1-inch squares
1 pint(s) cherry tomatoes, halved
1 - (1-ounce) package fresh basil
3 cup(s) (1-inch) cubed sourdough bread

Steps:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add pancetta. Cook, stirring frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove pancetta and drain on paper towels until cool.
On 4-inch skewers, thread 2 pieces pancetta, 1 cherry tomato half, 1 basil leaf, and 1 bread cube.
Here's a great tip for halving the tomatoes. Take two round lids put some tomatoes on one and cover with the other. With a sharp knife cut between the lids. Repeat until all are halved.
Serve with my ranch dressing, makes a great dip.
