BLT is 'Beta' with Feta

I love a good BLT. Something about it just gets my mouth watering. Usually I put cheddar cheese (in it's sharpest variety) on my BLT but did not have any tonight. There is something that the Gandolph Family always has in the fridge. My kids even like it - good old Greek feta cheese. I use feta in sauces, on salads, sandwiches, crumbled on pasta...you name it. Captain Feta would be a new cereal if I were in charge.

Tonight I had some fresh tomatoes from my garden and collected whole wheat bread, romaine lettuce, mayo, salt and pepper. I putting these together and topped it off with hot bacon and a thick slab of feta. YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM! Seriously it was that good.


Years ago Carrie and I went to Greece and stopped by a small deli-type shop on Patmos. We had rented scooters that day and just had a blast cruising around the island. The shop we ended up in had barrels of olives and cases of feta cheese. I was in heaven. That is what this sandwich reminded me of. Sometimes it's not the meal that takes forever that is most rewarding or delicious. Sometimes it's as easy as this sandwich. Comfort food at it's finest!

We love to add avocado to our BLTs. This was a nice twist too.
