Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Render the Bacon (5 minutes): In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy and golden brown. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside, reserving the rendered bacon fat in the pan.

02

Step
8 mins

Sauté the Vegetables (8 minutes): Add the sliced zucchini and red onion to the skillet with the bacon fat. Sprinkle with sea salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender-crisp and the onion is translucent.

03

Step
3 mins

Incorporate Tomatoes and Seasonings (3 minutes): Gently stir in the tomato wedges, dried basil, and freshly ground black pepper. Heat through, stirring gently, until the tomatoes are warmed but still hold their shape.

04

Step
2 mins

Assemble and Serve (2 minutes): Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetable mixture to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and blue cheese over the top. Serve immediately.

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.
