Description

A sandwich with cream cheese and roasted peppers is a simple appetizer that can serve as both a complement to the table and a standalone dish. Cream cheese is a quite filling ingredient, making these sandwiches a great breakfast alternative to boring omelets and porridges. However, the spotlight here is on the peppers — roasted and seasoned with balsamic sauce and garlic, they pair perfectly with the creamy cheese and crunchy bread. The biggest secret is that the peppers taste even better the next day.

Ingredients

Orange Bell Peppers - 3 pieces
French Baguette - 1 piece
Semi-soft cream cheese - 3 spoons
Vegetable Oil - 2 spoons
Garlic - 1 clove
Balsamic Vinegar - 2 spoons
Corn Salad - to taste
Hard Cheese - to taste
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place the bell peppers in a baking dish, brush them with vegetable oil, and bake in the oven for 40 minutes at 390°F. Immediately transfer the roasted peppers to a plastic bag and seal it. Wait until the contents of the bag are warm.

Step 2

Carefully peel the skin off the peppers and remove the seeds. Transfer them to a bowl. Some juice may accumulate; be sure to drain it.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the warm oil to the peppers along with the balsamic vinegar and minced garlic clove. Season with salt and pepper, then taste. If it needs more heat, add a bit more balsamic vinegar.
