Description:
These Roasted Red Pepper Cheese Toasts are a delightful combination of gooey cheese, flavorful herbs, and the sweetness of roasted red peppers. Perfect for a quick breakfast, satisfying lunch, or as a tasty snack any time of day!
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread
- 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup roasted red pepper strips
- 3 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 500Β°F (260Β°C). This high temperature will ensure that your cheese melts perfectly and the toast gets nice and crispy.
-
Prepare Bread: Place the slices of bread on a small baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not overlapping.
-
Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, olive oil, dried basil, dried oregano, and balsamic vinegar. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Top Bread with Cheese Mixture: Spoon the prepared cheese mixture evenly onto each slice of bread, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.
-
Add Roasted Red Peppers: Arrange the roasted red pepper strips on top of the cheese-covered bread slices, distributing them evenly.
-
Sprinkle with Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the red peppers, adding a deliciously salty and nutty flavor to the toasts.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Once done, remove the toasts from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two before serving.
-
Enjoy: These Roasted Red Pepper Cheese Toasts are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. Serve them as a delightful appetizer, a tasty accompaniment to soup or salad, or simply as a satisfying snack any time of day!
