spicy peppers bruschetta

one of the most delicious appetizers is a spicy peppers sauce that can be added to lightly grilled toast, topped with swiss cheese and a bit of sliced spinach. first, choose a nice loaf of bread, like a ciabatta, slice into smaller segments, and top with a drizzle of olive oil and a bit of parsley. grill over a hot grill pan on the stove top or on the outdoor grill. next, place the slices on a sheet pan and cover with thin slices of swiss cheese. bake in the oven for about five minutes. remove and then top with thinly sliced fresh spinach.

for the spicy peppers topping, i use stonewall kitchen's salsa recipe and adapt it for this dish. i purchase roasted peppers in the jar to save the step of baking in the oven, and add canned tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno, and herbs to round out the taste. any salsa recipe will work with this appetizer.

this is a quick and easy dish to serve with crackers or toasted bread.
