I’ve seen little bags of these cutie pies in the market lately. They’ve been trying to get me to buy them by being cute and colorful. Finally, last weekend I gave in. Then I had to figure out what to do with them and, as usual, Ina came to my rescue (I do love that woman). Here’s what she suggested!
Ina's Pepper Bruschetta
Ingredients
- small bag of sweet peppers or
- 2 large red bell peppers, seeded and sliced
- 2 large yellow peppers, seeded and sliced
- 1 t sugar
- 2 T capers, drained
- 4 T julienned fresh basil leaves
- Kosher salt
- black pepper
- Baguette
- 6 ounces soft gorgonzola
- olive oil
Instructions
- Heat about 2 T olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat
- Add the peppers and cook until soft, about 15 minutes
- Add the sugar and cook a few more minutes
- Stir in the capers and basil and season to taste with salt and pepper
- Slice the baquette thinly and brush with olive oil on 1 side
- Toast in the oven at 375 degrees, oil side up until brown - about 7 to 10 minutes
- Remove the toasts from the oven, top with the pepper bruschetta and a dollop of gorgonzola
- Place back in the oven until the cheese melts - I didn't do this because I used a really soft gorgonzola and it seemed perfect just as it was!
Perfect for the Super Bowl!

January 30, 2015 at 3:05 pmAh there you go again with a great presentation. Looks wonderful. Someday I will actually eat peppers. Can’t believe I have made it to 75 and am still a pepper virgin. Shame on me.

I do the same thing! I’ve never made something from one of her books that I don’t love.
