Sweet Pepper Bruschetta
One of the most traditional versions of this Italian appetizer, is also one of the quickest to assemble.

Ingredients
-
16 bias-cut slices (about 3/4 inch thick) Italian country bread or crusty sourdough bread

2 7-ounce jars roasted red sweet peppers, drained and cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips

Snipped fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme
Directions
1.
Preheat broiler. Place bread slices on a baking sheet. Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until bread is toasted, turning once. (Or place bread slices on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes or until bread is toasted, turning once.)
