Roasted Pepper Bruschetta - VIDEO
This recipe for Roasted Pepper Bruschetta is one my favorite "last-minute-no-brainer-go"-to appetizers. It is one of the simplest recipes I know and it's SO delicious!!
By adding some fresh flavors to jarred roasted peppers, you get home made flavor with out the extra work. I make this brushetta all the time for anything from big dinner parties to romantic dinners (cause I'm always having romantic dinners;)) to pot lucks - it's just one of those dishes that works for just about anything!!

This is Wonderful! I made this for a garden party Saturday - it was devoured by both the men and women alike and because there was not a speck leftover, I had to make it again on Sunday!

Hello Dani. I was watching this delicious bruschetta dish.
and I noticed that at the near end, after you flipped the bruschetta
and began telling us about them. You accidentally called them ciabatta bread instead.
It isn't a totally big deal, but I thought I let you know.
I still love your cooking.
Rene.

Rene - I am using Ciabatta bread to make the brushetta, so when I say "Ciabatta" I am referring to the type of bread, not the dish...does that make sense?
Either way, thanks for looking out for me!!

Dani,
The bruschetta was a big hit at the party! It's so easy to make, and so yummy! I think the goat cheese is a brilliant touch!
I love your recipes they combine great flavours and keep everything simple and fresh - I prefer not to 'overcook' stuff. Your videos are very clear and enjoyable too :)
Thank you very much for your wonderful recipes and videos.
