Ingredients

• Bread
• 1/4 of bacon or bacon

• Olive oil
• 6 onions
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• ¾ teaspoon of salt
• ½ k cherry tomatoes cut in half
• ½ of bell peppers cut in julienne
• ¼ grated mozzarella cheese
• 3-4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking the bacon or bacon

The easiest way to cook a large quantity of bacon or bacon is to grill it. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil to prevent the strips from sticking. Spread out all of the bacon so that no piece overlaps one another.

Place the tray on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes total, check for doneness, and flip the bacon after 10-15 minutes, so it cooks on both sides.

Remove the bacon to a plate covered with kitchen paper, reserving 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat left over from cooking. We will use this fat to cook the onions and peppers.

When cool, cut the bacon into strips of about 2 cm.

Caramelize the onions and peppers

Peel the 6 onions and cut them in half lengthwise. Chop into rings. Cut the ½ kilo of peppers in julienne.

In order for the onions and peppers to be perfectly caramelized, it is advisable to use an electric skillet to precisely control the heat. It will take a little over 1 hour to cook them. Put the pan over low heat.

Add 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from baking and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Next, add half the onion and top with ¼ teaspoon of salt. Make a second layer of the remaining onion and cover the top with ½ teaspoon of salt. Add the julienned peppers. Cover and allow onions and peppers to “sweat” without stirring for 20 minutes.

Mix the onion with the peppers and cover at an angle so the steam can escape. Cook for 40 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so until the onions are evenly brown and the peppers are soft in texture.

If the onions are not brown, there is too much liquid in the pan. Liquid evaporates by increasing heat and stirring frequently. Watch for doneness and increase the heat a little higher when onions start to brown.

Onions are done when they are completely brown and soft. Turn off the pan and reserve.
