Red pepper cooked with fig vinegar and baked with toasted baguette and brie
This recipe was inspired by the one that the chef made specifically for me I mentioned before. Since I was in high school I have frequently eaten something in a restaurant that I loved and made it my mission to recreate it and then make it even better. I updated this particular recipe to toast the baguette first after brushing with olive oil and freshly pressed garlic. The peppers are cooked down with some olive oil and fig vinegar to give them a deep, rich flavor. And the fresh rosemary adds such a great flavor when cooked in the oven. These are so easy to make but packed with some amazing flavors. I don't have many amounts for the ingredients because these are so easy and you can just eyeball it to make as many as you want. Enjoy!
