BRUSCHETTA WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS YUMMY!
This is one of the recipes I've adpoted and made, using a tomato garlic mixture. We loved the added flavor of the roasted red peppers. To save time, you might want to use the roasted red peppers that you buy in a jar, which I think would work very well in this recipe. Hope you enjoy. We sure did.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and cook until soft, about 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the sugar and continue cooking for 2 more minutes. Stir in the capers and basil, and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and feel heavy for their size. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have green shoulders.
- Roast the red peppers yourself: Roasting red peppers at home gives you more control over the flavor and texture. Plus, it's easy to do! Simply roast the peppers in a hot oven until they're charred and tender.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in bruschetta, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Don't overload the bruschetta: When assembling the bruschetta, don't overload it with toppings. You want each bite to have a balance of flavors and textures.
- Serve the bruschetta immediately: Bruschetta is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it immediately after assembling. If you're making it ahead of time, store the bruschetta in the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Bruschetta is a delicious and versatile appetizer that's perfect for any occasion. With its fresh, flavorful ingredients and simple preparation, it's a crowd-pleaser that's sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give bruschetta a try. You won't be disappointed!
