    A very tasty breakfast or brunch recipe which I enjoyed yesterday; I did not have Canadian bacon, so I cooked some English bacon slices. I also pan fried my tomatoes very quickly before adding them to the sandwich. I had to use French baguette, this made the sandwich lovely and crusty and with more bite than a muffin! I liked the combination of the bacon, tomato and cottage cheese - however, I felt that there was too much cottage cheese in ratio to the bacon and tomato, BUT this is a healthy recipe! I would like to try this again in a muffin and with less cottage cheese - tasty and healthy! Thanks Brandess - made for PAC spring 2008. FT

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. I never thought of adding these ingredients to a toasted english muffin. Very delicious. I omitted the bacon because I don't eat meat and I used sundried tomatoes. It made a great lite supper for me tonight. Made for Aprils' AUrecipeswap~
