Bruschetta with Peppers
Ingredients
- Good olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into thin strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon sliced green olives, drained
- 2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Baguette
- 3 oz. creamy Gorgonzola or other blue cheese, at room temperature
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375° F
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat
Step 3
Add the peppers and then cook until soft, about 12-15 minutes. Sprinkle with the sugar and continue cooking for 2 more minutes. Stir in the olives and basil, and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 4
Slice the baguette crosswise into 18 thin round slices. Brush the bread rounds lightly with olive oil on 1 side. Arrange them in rows, oil side up, on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and toast in the oven until lightly browned, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 5
Top each toast round with a teaspoonful of the pepper mixture. Place 2 small pieces of Gorgonzola on top. Return the toast to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes and warm through. Serve immediately.
