  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup crumbled crisply cooked bacon
  • 1 cup shredded deli rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese (4 oz)
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 to 3 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (from 7-oz can), finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped chives

    Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Place bread slices with sides touching in single layer on parchment paper. Brush with oil.

    Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until bread is toasted. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, stir together remaining ingredients except 1 tablespoon of the chives.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Save the leftover chipotle chiles by spooning them into a resealable freezer plastic bag. Store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • tip 2
    Bake this appetizer in an ovenproof baking dish or platter to quickly go from oven to table.
