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.

I swapped out the gorgonzola for mozerella bc I'm not a blue cheese fan, and I also added onions to the peppers. I found these to be absolutely delicious and they are a huge hit with our guests! I would definitely make again!!!

Made these today for a 4th of July gathering and they were a big hit. A little messy to eat, but otherwise great. I did drizzle a little balsamic glaze over each one after it came out of the oven. What I like about this recipe is that you can assemble it ahead of time, before the company comes and than heat it up quickly when they get here. My kind of recipe.
