Ingredients

4 3x4-in. pieces focaccia bread
1/2 cup goat cheese, or cream cheese
127-g jar roasted red peppers, pimentos or large roasted red pepper, peeled and seeded
8 large fresh basil leaves, or Italian parsley leaves
fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

Slice focaccia to make top and bottom crusts. Spread each cut side with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) cheese. Lay roasted peppers on bottom crusts, then top with whole basil leaves and grinding of black pepper.

We love the contrast of creamy goat's cheese smeared over chewy Italian focaccia, then topped with basil leaves and roasted peppers.
