Ingredients

  • For the Roasted Pepper Layers:
  • 3 large bell peppers (one red, one yellow, one orange)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp balsamic glaze
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • For the Goat's Cheese Layer:

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Cut the bell peppers into quarters, remove seeds and membranes.
  3. Place pepper quarters on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and roast for 25-30 minutes until softened and slightly charred.
  4. Remove peppers from oven, let cool slightly, then peel off skins. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with oregano.
