For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of olive oil instead. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Feta, goat cheese, or Parmesan would all be delicious. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a pinch of sugar to the vegetables while they are cooking. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
