Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Sweet bell peppers (mixed colors)
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Brush both sides of each baguette slice with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Set aside.
Step 4
While the bread is toasting, prepare the sweet peppers. Remove the stems, seeds, and membranes from the peppers, then thinly slice them.
Step 5
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced peppers and sauté for 8-10 minutes, or until soft and slightly caramelized.
Step 6
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet with the peppers. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 7
Stir in the balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute, then remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Step 8
In a mixing bowl, combine the Gorgonzola cheese and cream cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 9
Spread a generous layer of the Gorgonzola mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Step 10
Top each slice with a spoonful of the sautéed sweet peppers.
Step 11
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy your Bruschetta with Sautéed Sweet Peppers and Creamy Gorgonzola!
