This sandwich came together while cleaning out the fridge on the last day of vacation. I packed it to take on the plane — a simple combination of leftover roasted red peppers, Boursin cheese, and fresh basil on toasted baguette.
I’d rather eat something homemade — even if it’s just okay — than processed or fast food. I figured this sandwich would be good enough, but after taking a bite I realized it was great! My daughter liked it so much that she started asking for the same sandwich in her school lunches, and we found yet another use for roasted peppers.
Below the recipe, you’ll find additional serving ideas to make the most of this versatile ingredient: roasted bell peppers.
Toast the baguette, spread both sides with Boursin cheese, add a few slices of roasted peppers, fresh basil, and a sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
This sandwich is also delicious with plain or herbed goat cheese or just a drizzle of olive oil. Or skip the bread and just serve peppers and Boursin.
