Swiss Chard Sandwhiches

I made bread today and realized I was too exhausted to do anything complicated for dinner. These sandwiches were quite tasty.

1 loaf baguette style bread, cut into fourths and then sliced lengthwise
4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced into 4 1-oz slices
1 bunch Swiss Chard, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 T olive oil
pinch of salt
2 to 3 T cream
4 slices of bacon
1 T brown sugar

Put bacon on baking sheet and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, until crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a saute pan. Add onion and sauteed until softened. Season with salt. Add chard and cook until wilted, then add cream and simmer until tender and sweet.

Place a slice of mozzarella on the bottom piece of bread, top with chard/onion mixture and a slice of bacon and add the top slice of bread. We ate this with fresh blueberries with a bit of cream for dessert.
