Red Pepper, Feta & Basil Sandwiches

Serves 2

  • 4 slices of good bread—whatever type you prefer; works well with whole grain, sourdough, etc.
  • ¼ cup red pepper sauce (can be store-bought or homemade)
    • For homemade, use one can or pint of roasted red peppers, and add 1 T extra virgin olive oil, add walnuts if desired
  • 4 ounces feta (appx), sliced into 1/8" slices
  • Julienned basil leaves, to taste

Pre-heat oven to broil and 550 degrees (you're basically making cheese sandwiches). Toast bread in a toaster until golden at edges. Spoon red pepper sauce onto each piece of bread, and spread around. Place feta slices over red pepper sauce to cover the bread.

Place on cookie sheet and put in oven for 60-90 seconds, or until feta is melted/melting. Remove from oven and sprinkle julienned basil leaves (as many as you like) over sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Very good with Andalusian Gazpacho, or Greek salad.
