Ingredients

1/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter
2 large cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
16 (1/4-inch) slices Italian bread
8 (1-ounce) slices Land O Lakes® Deli Provolone Cheese, cut in half
1 (7.25-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained, cut into strips
2/3 cup freshly shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese
Fresh herb sprigs (Italian parsley, tarragon, basil or oregano), if desired

Directions

Heat broiler. Melt butter in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat until sizzling; add garlic. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 1 minute.

Place bread onto ungreased baking sheets. Broil 6 inches from heat until bread is lightly toasted (2 to 3 minutes). Turn bread over; brush untoasted side with melted butter mixture. Top each with 1 half slice cheese and about 1 tablespoon roasted red peppers. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Continue broiling until cheeses are melted and beginning to brown (2 to 3 minutes). Serve warm; garnish with sprig of fresh herb, if desired.

Recipe Tip

Bottled roasted red peppers can be found in the condiment section with the olives or sometimes in the deli department of your supermarket.
