Toast with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Bacon

I got the idea for preparing toast this way from Astro AFC, Spain...on the road again show, staring Claudia Bassols, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mario Batali and Mark Bittman. Willie Nelson, the famous country song singer sang the theme song for this show. It is such a nice song! These people are so lucky, they get to travel all over Spain and eat all the good food in the country! The main star of this show is Spanish actress; Claudia Bassols who can speak multi languages like English, Spanish, Italian, Catalan, French and Swedish. One of Claudia’s favourite meals for breakfast is toast with virgin olive oil. This is supposed to be a very healthy food for breakfast. I told my daughter about what Claudia ate and she wanted the same type of breakfast too! I toasted some bread and the spread extra virgin olive oil on it. She also requested for some bacon to go with the toast, so I ended up frying some bacon bits that I have in my fridge. We ate this nice simple breakfast with Iceberg Lettuce and fresh tomato. At the end, daddy ate most of the food! LOL! Well, ladies, if you want to stay slim and nice looking such as Claudia Bassols, then maybe you want to consider eating toast with extra virgin olive oil everyday! Ha ha ha!

From what you described it sure is one healthy breakfast with veggies somemore :)

I visited Spain in 2006. Love the place.

Christine : Ya, agree, maybe without the bacon is healthier! LOL!

Claire : Actually it is not very expensive, because you only use very little as salad dressing or to dress other dish, extra virgin olive oil are not supposed to be cooked., just consume it straight out from the bottle. One bottle can last quite long!
But then.....can get good complexion and healthy glowing skins leh......better than using cosmetics......he he he!

Mei Teng : I heard Spain is very nice to visit. Gotta go there one day...maybe when the kids grow up...LOL!
