Ingredients
  

2 large red bell peppers

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

200g feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)

4 slices of crusty bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)

Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Fresh lemon juice, for garnishing

Instructions
 

Roast the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and stems. Place them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the skins are blistered and charred.

    Loosen the Skins: After roasting, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately transfer the hot peppers to a bowl and cover it tightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let them steam for about 10 minutes; this step makes it easier to peel off the charred skins. Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, gently peel away the skins and slice the roasted peppers into long strips.

      Season the Feta: In a small mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese with balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well until all ingredients are fully integrated.

        Toast the Bread: While you prepare the feta mixture, toast the bread slices to your preferred level of crispness. You can use a toaster, grill pan, or a skillet for additional flavor enhancement.

          Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the seasoned feta mixture on each slice of warm, toasted bread. Top each slice with the roasted pepper strips and evenly scatter the chopped basil leaves on top.

            Add Finishing Touches: Drizzle each toast with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top to brighten the flavors.

              Serve: Enjoy your Roasted Pepper Feta Toast immediately for the best experience while the bread remains warm and crispy.
