ROASTED BELL PEPPER BRUSCHETTA






This is a great recipe and sure to impress company! I personally love roasted bell peppers and have recently been shown this amazing bruschetta- which is another one of my favorites!


1 yellow and red bell pepper

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp capers

1 Tbsp basil

1 Tbsp evoo

some cheese either mozzerella, blue cheese, goat, feta, or parmesan

some kind of bread. you can use a frozen garlic bread, or fresh itialian - I used a cheesy ciabatta bread


To roast bell peppers, put your broiler on high and put bell peppers on cookie sheet. Center the cookie sheet to the broiler and let peppers roast till the skin turns black or bubbles. you will have to watch it because you have to turn them every so often to get each side. you can also google this technique for a video. once they are roasted and each side is browned, take out with tongs and place in a bowl and cover with saran wrap to let rest for 15-20 min. Next take one pepper out and remove skin from it. You can cut or just pull the top of the pepper off and let the seeds and juice run out of it before you remove skin. once skin is removed lay the pepper flat on a cutting board and slice Do the same with the other pepper. This all might sound like a long process but it really isnt bad and absolutly worth it.


place the sliced peppers in a sauce pan with the evoo and sprinkle the sugar on the peppers. after a minute or two add capers and basil and warm through only for a few minutes as well.


next is just to put the pepper mixture over whatever bread you decided on sprinkle cheese over and ENJOY!!
