    tasted great with Pantetini toasts!

    Excellent and easy appetizer. Didn’t have italian bread so i used texas toast and cut into 4 squares. Worked out nice. Added some chopped up black olives for color. Delicious and will definately make again and again. 🙂

    This is a great twist on the classic tomato-based bruschetta. The balsamic vinegar gives it a little extra bite, while the roasted peppers lend a savory sweetness. Definitely a big hit at parties.

    Enjoyed this. My husband thought it needed some parmesan cheese on top so I experimented with some remaining pieces. Put shredded parmesan and popped back in the oven — he liked it better this way but I liked it the other. Also dipped my French bread slices (one side) in the olive oil and then rubbed another slice with the first piece.

    I mixed ingredients from this recipe with another. It turned out fantastic. Everyone enjoyed. Love roasted red peppers. Yum!

    I did not care for this bruschetta. The bread come out very soggy! Sorry.

    • 20 years ago

    This was the best bruschetta I’ve ever made! I made it twice, once with onions and once without. I think I’d go with half the amount of onion the next time since the onion dominated the other tastes. Overall, it was very delicious.

    Used a lot less basil and just a little onion. Served this with “Paris toast” instead of the Italian bread. It’s all ready to go and makes this a quick and easy recipe.

    My boyfriend scarffed a whole plate of this stuff. I didn’t use a whole onion though and I like mozarella a lot so I added a little shredded on top. The peppers are a fantastic idea. thanks.

    • 19 years ago

    very nice… didn’t care for the sweet peppers much but that’s just a personal preference…

    • 18 years ago

    Easy and very tasty. Even better with feta cheese added.

    • 18 years ago

    This was a great appetizer. I used only a bit of onion, used sweet Thai basil and did not put together until the absolute last minute so they wouldn’t get soggy. They were a big hit and I will definitely make them again soon!

    Per previous rating, topped with a little grated parmesan.

    • 18 years ago

    I followed the recipe almost exactly but roasted fresh peppers myself rather than using jarred. It was terrific as an appetizer before Christmas dinner. I spread some leftover homemade basil-walnut pesto on the baguette slices before topping with the bruschetta mixture. The combination of flavors was fabulous.

    This was sooo yummy! I made this with “French Baguettes” from this site. This is a nice change from your normal tomatoe bruschetta. Thanx for sharing!

    • 17 years ago

    If you go for the jar of peppers, don’t be afraid to use the whole thing! It seemed like a ton so I just added half, then mixed in a little more, then a little more… ended up using the whole thing. Next time I will do the roasted peppers myself but this time I ran out of time. Great appetizer in a pinch!! Definitely sprinkle with grated Parm 🙂

    A little Mozzerella cheese and a quick warm-up in the oven makes it a *****

    I made this recipe a long time ago and take it to every dinner party I go to when asked to bring something. Getting back tonight I wanted to take the time to rate it. I received the 100th compliment this evening. A sure fire every time!

    • 15 years ago

    great recipe. added some moz cheese per previous posters. will make again.

    • 15 years ago

    Yummy stuff. I roasted my own red peppers and used softened sun dried tomatos (no fresh on hand). We really enjoyed this on toasted french bread.

    • 15 years ago

    This was really refreshing and tasty. I halved the basil and added an avocado for color and protein. Excellent!

    • 15 years ago

    I made this last night for company coming over – it was a huge hit! everyone loved it – I’ll definitely make this again. I used jar roasted peppers becaue I had them on hand, but will try roasting them myself next time.

    • 14 years ago

    This is absolutley delicious!! I followed the recipe to the letter with the exception of using a couple teaspoons of dried basil, because I didn’t have any fresh, and I added 1 Tablesppon of parmesan to the mixture. Be sure to top the bread right before serving because it will get a bit soggy if sitting for awhile. I may toast both sides of the bread next time. I’ll be using this recipe often, I couldn’t stop eating this. During the summer I plan to roast my own pepeprs, using a blend of yellow, orange and red. This would look beautiful on a platter for summer picnics and barbeques. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! 🙂

    Although I did alot of tweaking, I still must say this wasn’t what I thought it would be. It was edible, but not irresistable.

    • 13 years ago

    I added feta and chopped mango, plus lemon juice for added bite. Delicious!!

    • 13 years ago

    I used the directions on this site to make my own roasted sweet red peppers. http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/roasting-peppers/detail.aspx
    I used both red and yellow peppers. I did use the onion, but forgot about the onion. Very tasty and my bf went back for seconds.

    • 13 years ago

    Quite good! Received many compliments. However, as a matter of preference, I think the roasted red peppers are too sweet. Would suggest increasing the ratio of tomatoes to peppers.

    • 12 years ago

    I’m generally not a fan of balsamic vinegar and it appealed to me even less here, so I left it out. While these additions certainly weren’t necessary to an already great recipe, adding a little mozzarella took this over the top. (I sometimes add sliced black olives to this too!)
