WOW!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I left out the cheese and added some garlic to the basil oil, but this was absolutely fabulous!!!! So deliciously tasty,... everything just pops. I roasted the peppers since I didn't have a grill and they were just sweet and charred and fabulous and the basil oil drizzle was just mouth-wateringly good. I could not stop eating them--I made a second batch and added some quartered sugar plum tomatoes, and they were literally gone in less than a minute! I can't wait to make them again. I think I could eat these every day and not get sick of it!Read more

Great Versatile Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Every way I've made this recipe, it's turned out great. In winter I've broiled the bell peppers which makes them so sweet and... I love the crunch of the skin on rather than peeling it... have used what's ever in the frig.... cilantro or flat leaf parsley instead of basil... have NOT drained the oil and spread it on the bread first, then cheese DELICIOUS every way I've worked it! Thank you Iron Chef Flay.Read more

I made this for my birthday dinner. While the steak and corn were on the BBQ, we had these to snack on. They were gone in a... "New York" minute !! Will definitely make again.Read more
