We started serving this wonderful spring breakfast recently which came from the March 2007 Bon Appetit and the guests at the Inn love it.

4 slices of bacon
1 4inch square of focaccia bread thinly sliced in half

4 thin slices of tomato
1 small chopped shallot
1/2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 cup arugula (packed)
2 large eggs
Shaved Parmesan cheese
Viola, shredded marigold or other edible flower.


Instructions 
Cook the bacon over medium heat in a heavy skillet and then place on paper towels to drain
Brush the cut side of the bread with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Wipe out the skillet and place the bread cut side down in the skillet and cook until golden.
Wisk 1 tablespoon oil, shallot and vinegar in medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add arugula and toss to coat.
Place 1 square toasted side up on each of two plates and top with half the bacon and two slices of tomato.
