Ingredients

Directions

1. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until it begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add bell peppers, sugar, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well combined. Cover pan, and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are very soft, about 30 minutes.
2. Slice baguettes in half lengthwise close to the bottom. Scoop out some of the top half so the bread will sit nicely on top of the peppers; set loaves aside, and reserve scooped-out bread for another use. Uncover; raise heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until most of the liquid evaporates and peppers are nicely glazed, about 3 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar. Add a little water if necessary, to avoid scorching. Transfer peperonata to a bowl to cool. When cool, peperonata can be stored, refrigerated, up to 4 days.
3. Spread the herbed goat cheese on bread, and top with cooled peperonata.

Cook's Notes

The peperonata topping in this recipe can also be tossed with cooked pasta for a light summer dinner.

Wow! Easy and super-delicious! I had tons of leftover pepper/onion mix, so used it on scrambled eggs the next morning, with Borsin spread on toast. Sooooo good!

This recipe is delicious. I have been making Peperonata Sandwiches with Herbed Goat-Cheese Spread for picnic meals since I first discovered the recipe in Martha's magazine in 2002 . I feel both recipes should be listed together on wholeliving.com

This is delicious! My husband and I had it last night for dinner and we absolutely loved it. Its not peppery at all, its actually sweet. We substituted havarti for the goat cheese and we added turkey lunch meat. Plus the recipe makes way more than two servings so we're using the left overs to make fajitas tonight. I definitely recommend this dish!!!!
