Roasted Pepper Tartine
- 2 roasted red or yellow bell peppers (good-quality jarred peppers are fine)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 large 1/2-inch-thick slices bread from a day-old rustic loaf, such as miche or pain au levain (about 6 by 4 inches)
- 4 tablespoons sun-dried tomato puree (optional)
- 12 black olives, pitted
- 4 ounces firm fresh goat cheese log or 4 ounces Camembert
- Remove and discard seeds from peppers, then slice peppers into strips 1/4-inch wide.
- Put strips in a small mixing bowl and season well with salt and pepper.
- Add marjoram, garlic and olive oil and stir to coat.
- Put the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast lightly on both sides under broiler (or use a toaster and place toasted slices on baking sheet).
- Brush with sun-dried tomato puree, if using.
- Divide peppers among the 4 toasts and spread out to cover.
- Tuck the olives here and there.
- Top each toast with 1/2-inch slices of goat cheese or Camembert (about 1 ounce total on each toast).
- Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, not too close to the heat, until nicely browned.
- Alternatively, bake tartines 3 to 5 minutes on top shelf of a 450-degree oven, or individually in a countertop toaster oven.
- Serve hot.
