Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Bruschetta

Submitted by Krsi Sue

"I have tried many different bruschetta recipes and none of them quite tickled my tastebuds until I tried the recipe from Penny's Gourmet to Go. Be sure to refrigerate this at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to mix. You can use 3 (15 oz cans) chopped tomatoes in place of fresh tomatoes."

Nice change from my normal recipe - we enjoyed the tanginess of the balsamic vinegar. Using the leftover with chicken breasts for supper tonite.

I made this recipe for over 100 people for a charity event. I made it X 10 = 122 servings.There were small serving spoons to ladle the bruschetta on to the olive oil brushed toast. Each person served themself.It is the best and easiest recipe ever. You can make in the morning if you wish and serve in the evening.
