Ingredients

  • 1 loaf (18 inch) baguette French bread (8 oz), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices (about 30)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow bell pepper
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat balsamic vinaigrette
  • 20 pitted kalamata olives, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (1 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In 15x10-inch pan with sides, place bread slices in single layer. Using pastry brush, lightly brush tops of slices with about 2 tablespoons of the oil. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat 1 to 2 minutes or until hot. Add bell peppers, onion, garlic, salt, oregano and thyme. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • 3
    Transfer vegetables to medium bowl. Add vinaigrette and olives; stir until vegetables are coated.
  • 4
    Top each bread slice with 1 teaspoon vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you like garlic, rub a clove of garlic over the toasted bread before topping with the vegetable mixture.
  • tip 2
    Try to break up any large chunks of feta so the crumbles are all similar in size.
