ROASTED RED PEPPER AND TOMATO BRUSCHETTA
I have tried many different bruschetta recipes and none of them quite tickled my tastebuds until I tried the recipe from Penny's Gourmet to Go. Be sure to refrigerate this at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to mix. You can use 3 (15 oz cans) chopped tomatoes in place of fresh tomatoes.

ROASTED RED PEPPER AND FETA BRUSCHETTA
I'm not a big fan of bruschetta, but I love this recipe, and so does everyone I've made it for! This is just as good as anything from a restaurant. This recipe takes longer the first few times you do it, before you really get the hang of it. It is a bit of work, but trust me, it's worth it! Most likely, you won't have leftovers.

ROASTED RED PEPPER AND CANELLININI BEAN BRUSCHETTA RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Slice baguette into 1/4 inch slices and brush slightly with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and quickly toast in the oven for about 10 minutes. Brush red peppers with olive oil and roast in a heated oven until outer skin chars and can be easily removed. Remove the charred outer skin once peppers have cooled enough to handle. Dice into 1/4 inch pieces. While peppers are roasting, you can also be roasting the garlic! In a piece of aluminum foil, place the garlic cloves in olive oil and fold up to create a pouch. Heat in oven for 10-15 minutes or until garlic has become soft and tender. In a mixing bowl, combine beans, red peppers, garlic, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, and thyme. Mix well. Taste and season with salt. Now, you can either top the baguette with the mixture as is OR I like to blend half of the mixture in a blender until nice and creamy. I then add the creamed beans and peppers back with the other beans, so I have some whole beans remaining in the resulting mixture. Once the baguette have been topped with the bruschetta, toast in an 350° F oven for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the bread, you want them to be toasty, but not burnt! Sprinkle with fresh parsley, serve warm and enjoy!
