ANTIPASTO BREAD
Sauteed vegetables add fresh, robust flavor to these hearty bread slices from Genise Krause of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. For a change of pace, use prosciutto or shaved deli ham instead of salami. GENISE'S TIP: "On extra-busy nights, I sometimes substitute prepared giardiniera for the vegetables to speed things up."

MARINATED ROASTED VEGETABLE ANTIPASTO
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Arrange vegetables on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place in oven and roast for 7 to 8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. When vegetables are cool enough to handle begin layering on a large dish. Place eggplant in the bottom of the dish, drizzle with some olive oil, and add some of the garlic. Add some of the fresh herbs, and then some olives. Sprinkle a little vinegar on top and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to layer vegetables, along with seasonings, adding the peppers next, and then fennel, and finally the zucchini. Cover dish with plastic wrap and let chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables for a more colorful and flavorful antipasto.
- If you don't have any sun-dried tomatoes, you can use regular tomatoes, just be sure to roast them first.
- If you don't have any balsamic vinegar, you can use red wine vinegar instead.
- Be sure to let the bread cool slightly before slicing it, otherwise, the cheese will be too melty.
- Serve the bread immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This vegetable antipasto stuffed bread is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. The bread is filled with a variety of vegetables, cheese, and herbs, and it is then baked until golden brown. The result is a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone.
