Bruschetta with Garlic Roasted Sweet Red Peppers

Be sure to top the bread right before serving because it will get a bit soggy if sitting for awhile. The balsamic vinegar gives this dish a bit of a bite and the roasted peppers bring a wonderful sweetness. We have added avocado, pesto on top of the bread before the Bruschetta mix and even some chopped up black olives. If you prefer you and also use roasted fresh peppers.
