Ingredients

  • 8 slices turkey bacon, cut in half crosswise
  • 1 small onion, quartered
  • 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon plain nonfat yogurt
  • Dash of pepper
  • 8 (1-ounce) slices French bread (3/4 inch thick), lightly toasted
  • 2 small tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • Cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • Fresh oregano (optional)

Method

  • Partially cook bacon 3 minutes in a nonstick skillet; drain and set aside.
  • Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add quartered onion. Process until finely chopped. Add cheese and next 3 ingredients; process until onion is minced, scraping sides of processor bowl occasionally. Set aside.
  • Place toasted bread slices on a baking sheet; spread cheese mixture evenly over slices, spreading to edges of bread. Cut each small tomato into 4 slices. Top each slice of bread with a tomato slice and 2 bacon pieces. Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until cheese melts and bacon is crisp. Sprinkle with green onions. If desired, garnish with cherry tomatoes and fresh oregano.
