Ballard's Idaho Golden Greek Bread-less Cocktail Sandwiches
By Chef Jane Deal

1 pkg. thick-cut bacon
1 avocado, peeled and sliced thin
5-6 ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 head red leaf lettuce, washed and separated
1 round of Ballard's Idaho Golden Greek Cheese

Fry bacon slices until they are crisp and set aside. Cut  cheese into 1/4 inch slices.
Warm up a clean, dry skillet over medium heat and add cheese slices in a single
layer in pan. Fry on one side until cheese has browned, then turn cheese slices over
and brown on the other side. Now taste a cooked slice of the cheese. (Get a hold of
yourself at this point and try not to eat the rest of the cheese, so you can finish  
this recipe!)  Place slices on a warm plate, and continue to brown the rest of the
cheese. Plate can be kept in a warm oven to keep the cheese from cooling off.  On
a cooked cheese slice, layer pieces of bacon, avocado slices, tomatoes, and lettuce
leaves, Drizzle some of the sauce over the top, and secure another slice of cheese
on top with a toothpick. Serve immediately.  

Sandwich Sauce (recipe below)
Sandwich Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 Tbs tarragon vinegar
1  green onion, sliced (both white and green sections)
1 clove garlic, sliced
5-6 fresh basil leaves
3 fresh parsley sprigs
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Place all
Sandwich sauce ingredients in blender or food processor, and process
until ingredients are well combined. Keep sauce in the refrigerator until ready to
use.
