Ingredients

Good olive oil
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into thin strips
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into thin strips
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon capers, drained
2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Baguette
3 ounces creamy Gorgonzola or other blue cheese, at room temperature

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and cook until soft, about 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the sugar and continue cooking for 2 more minutes. Stir in the capers and basil, and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Slice the baguette crosswise into 18 thin round slices. Brush the bread rounds lightly with olive oil on 1 side. Arrange them in rows, oil side up, on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and toast in the oven until lightly browned, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Top each toast round with a teaspoonful of the pepper mixture. Place 2 small pieces of Gorgonzola on top. Return the toast to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes and warm through. Serve immediately.

good foundation with few revisions
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

i liked for the taste to be a bit more 'not in your face'. so i chopped the peppers into smaller chunks, added onions which i... also chopped into small bits, and made sure to have thinly sliced baguette pieces. I had some uncooked shredded basil to top off the mixture after they were baked in the oven. this gives them a wonderful bite! Read more

Oh WOW!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It looked good on TV, in looked good in print . . . but this recipe really exceeded my expectations! I made it for guests... and I had a few leftovers (because I overcooked, not because it wasn't delicious!) and it was even great cold for my lunch the next day! Again . . . WOW!Read more

Easy & Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this twice. It is really easy to make and the taste is great. The gorgonzola is not as strong as blue cheese.... Wonderful with some fruit and a glass of wine!Read more
