  • Prep 10 min
  • Total 18 min
  • Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 4 slices hard-crusted Italian or French bread, 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 jar (7 ounces) roasted red bell peppers, drained and cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
  • 2 tablespoons freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 450°F. Place bread on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 2
    Mix remaining ingredients except capers. Spoon onto bread.
  • 3
    Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges of bread are golden brown. Cut each bread slice lengthwise into thirds. Sprinkle with capers.

  • Capers are flower buds from the Mediterranean caper bush. These small buds are picked, dried in the sun and pickled in vinegar brine. They make great additions to salads and appetizers, such as this bruschetta.
  • Use 1 cup chopped tomatoes instead of the roasted peppers and chopped fresh basil leaves instead of the parsley for another great appetizer idea.
