Spicy Dove on Tomato

I really do understand. If you soak your dove breasts in teriyaki sauce, wrap them in bacon and jalapeno pepper and slap them on the grill, they taste great. Just this once, I want you to try something a little different. This appetizer preparation is spicy, cool, cheesy and juicy – all in the same bite. Ideally, the doves should be blackened in a screaming hot cast iron skillet, but not past medium-rare.
