Ingredients

8 slices French bread
2 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
1 tsp. olive oil

2 Tbsp. minced yellow pepper
1 large tomato, diced
6 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Step 1
Toast the bread on both sides. Rub one side of each piece of toast with the cut side of the garlic. Keep bread warm by placing it on a baking sheet in an oven set to warm.

Heat the oil in a medium-sized nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and yellow pepper and cook, stirring until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the tomato, basil, and pepper.
Step 3
Spoon the tomato mixture over garlic-rubbed side of the toast, dividing evenly. Sprinkle with the cheese and serve immediately.
