These toasts are a tasty tapa and a snap to make. The combination of crisp bread and warm piquillo peppers stuffed with cheese is a scrumptious way to start the meal.

This recipe rocks! I did change the pepper to my favorite...peppadews. The sweet pepper was so bright red and everyone raved about how good it was. I am making again for bridge club in August. Try it.
