Title: Granny’s Summer Boston Sandwich

Ingredients:

Two tablespoons butter.

Two tablespoons flour.

1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste).

1/8 teaspoon pepper (or to taste).

One cup of milk (two percent or lowfat milk works well).

Two medium to large summer tomatoes

One large sweet onion (yellow, a Vidalia onion is perfect)

One pound bacon

Four slices of toast

Directions:

This recipe is at its best when fresh garden slicing tomatoes and Vidalia onions are available.

For best results use a heavy saucepan or a clad pan that distributes heat evenly. Begin with low heat and melt the butter. Pour the dry ingredients (flour, salt and pepper) into the melted butter and blend with a wooden spoon or spatula until smooth (don't burn or scald). You can save prep time by preheating the milk in a microwave (30 to 40 secconds for one cup) or if a microwave is not available remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the milk. Stir constantly while bringing the mixture to a boil (until thick). Don’t over boil.

Remove thickened white sauce from heat. On two pieces of toast layer slices of onion then tomato and top with strips of bacon. Spoon a generous helping of white sauce over the top. Pepper to taste. This recipe is enough for two dishes. Double the ingredients for four people.
