Grilled Pepper Bruchetta


One
of my
guilty
pleasures
is to
watch
the
Food
Network.

I could
watch the
cooking
shows
for hours!

I saw
this
recipe
last 
summer...


and I
have been
waiting
that long
to make it.

It was
worth
the
wait!

Grilled Pepper Bruchetta

Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
12 (1/2-inch) thick slices French baguette
12 ounces Gorgonzola, at room temperature
2 red bell peppers, grilled, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, grilled, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced


1. Heat the grill to high.

2. Combine the oil, basil and salt and pepper in a blender and blend for 5 minutes. Strain the oil into a bowl.

3. Butter the bread on one side. Grill the bread on both sides until lightly golden brown. 

4. Remove from the grill and spread some of the blue cheese on 1 side of each slice, top with some of the peppers and drizzle with a little of the basil oil.
