Ingredients
The following ingredients have 6 Servings
- 1 red bell pepper (roasted *)
- 11 oz goat cheese
- 1 Tbsp fresh basil leaves
- 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 French baguette (sliced and toasted)
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 500° F. Place red pepper on baking sheet and bake on top rack for 20-30 minutes until pepper is charred. Remove from oven and cover with foil for about 10 minutes to let the steam soften the skin and peppers.
- While pepper is steaming, slice baguette on diagonal and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 450° F until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven.
- Uncover peppers, peel off the skin and remove stem and seeds. Chop into large pieces and place into food processor with goat cheese, basil leaves, and parmesan cheese and blend until smooth.
- Assemble crostini by scooping about 1 Tbsp goat cheese mixture and spreading onto toasted crostini. Top with additional basil leaves and fresh grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
