Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Preheat the oven to 375°.
Step #2 Arrange the bread on a large baking sheet, brush with olive oil & bake for about 8 mins, or until golden brown.
Step #3 Rub the hot toasts with the garlic.
Step #4 In a small bowl, season the goat cheese with salt & pepper & mix until creamy.
Step #5 Spread a thin layer of the goat cheese over each toast.
Step #6 Spread the grated Manchego in a shallow bowl.
Step #7 Dredge the peppers in the cheese to generously coat.
Step #8 In a large nonstick skillet, turning once with a spatula, cook the peppers over moderate heat, until richly browned & crusty, about 2 mins per side.
Step #9 Using a spatula, scrape the peppers from the pan, transfer to the toasts & serve.
Step #10 Make Ahead: The recipe can be prepared through Step 1 & stored overnight in an airtight container.
Step #11 Wine Recommendation: A light, refreshing sparkling white wine will highlight the smoky peppers & mix with the tangy goat cheese here.
Step #12 Choose a good Spanish Cava, such as the Nonvintage Juvé y Camps Reserva de la Familia Extra Brut, or an inexpensive Italian Prosecco, such as the nonvintage bottling from Zardetto.
