Goat Cheese & Pepper Sandwich

1 loaf ciabatta
you can use any bread you like or individual ciabatta rolls, Tuscan or french rolls anything with a toasty exterior, chewy interior.
1 small stick of plain goat cheese
1/2 small red onion, pealed and sliced as thin as possible.
1 jar roasted red peppers drained -
if you're only making a small or individuals, just take what you need and save the rest - jarred roasted red peppers are usually located with the greek olives at the grocery store - pickle aisle - or make your own.
extra virgin olive oil

1. Toast your bread in the oven per the package directions. Most Tuscan loaves in the bakery section are already crispy enough. And if you buy the sliced Tuscan, this makes a GREAT panini if you have a press or just want to do things old-school grilled-cheese-style in a skillet. After the loaf cools a bit, split into a long sandwich top and bottom.

2. Spread goat cheese evenly - the heat from the bread will help melt and smooth the cheese.

3. Lay red peppers over goat cheese & red onion [I don't usually go overboard on the red onion as it's a rather strong flavor, but knock yourself out if you want to]

4. Drizzle a little bit of extra virgin olive oil on the "lid" piece of bread and smoosh it on. Slice. Bite. Then say yum. It's required.
