I made this for a group who if its good and easy and impressive they've already made it a million times. Well, they raved about this receipe and all begged for it. But I did mine different, I brushed the bread with Olive Oil then grilled it. Because I made so many I couldn't make each individually so I didn't even drain the basil and in a bowl poured most of basil oil on the peppers and tossed it and put it in a dip bowl. letting people spread the cheese and then add the peppers themselves. It was so much easier but still looked and tasted fabulous!

Wonderful flavor and texture! Have made this severaltimes. Once I had no baguette bread. I used ciabatta and was surprised at increased texture. Regardless of bread-type, this recipe is wonderful! Annie, CA
