      Yield: 4 servings
     28 ea sliced canadian bacon
     12 oz mozzarella cheese
     12 ea slices french bread

    1/3 c  salad oil
      2 ea cans tomato sauce

  Note: You'll need four skewers approximately 10-12 in. long. Also

bacon.
  Cut the cheese into 1 in. squares about 1/4 in. thick. Fold a slice of
  Canadian bacon around each piece of cheese. Press the bacon firmly to
hold
  the cheese in place. Cut each piece of tomato and each piece of bread
in
  half. Heat the 1/3 cup of oil in a large skillet. Brown bread on both
  sides. Be prepared to turn bread quickly to avoid burning. It should
be
  merely light brown. On each skewer thread alternate pieces of bacon
  apped around the mozzarella, bread and tomato. Begin and end with the
  con. Place each skewer in a shallow baking pan or shallow earthenware
  sserole. Be sure the folded top of each piece of bacon is up. Pour
  mato sauce over each skewer. Sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese.
  rinkle lightly with paprika and additional salad oil. Preheat the oven
  400 degrees. Bake the skewers until brown on top. Serve immediately
