Servings: persons

2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/3 cup olive oil
1 large baguette
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into thin strips
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into thin strips
4 plum tomatoes, halved and grilled
3 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon capers, drained
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces creamy Gorgonzola or other blue cheese, at room temperature

1
Preheat a grill to 375F (or turn on the broiler).
2
Place the garlic cloves and olive oil in a saucepan, and heat gently for 1 to 2 minutes, to flavor the oil (be careful not to burn the garlic or it will turn acrid and bitter).
3
Discard the garlic.
4
Cut the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices, brush the slices lightly with the garlic oil (you will have some left over) and grill them (or toast them) until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
5
Set the bread aside, uncovered, so that it will remain crisp while you prepare the vegetables.
6
Slice the bell peppers lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slices.
7
Brush the bell peppers and tomato halves with the remaining garlic oil, and grill or broil on both sides until lightly charred but still firm.
8
Cool the vegetables for several minutes before roughly chopping and tossing them in a bowl with the basil, vinegar, capers, salt and pepper to taste, and any remaining oil.
9
Slather the toasts with the softened Gorgonzola, and top each one with a spoonful of the grilled pepper-and-tomato mixture and a grinding of black pepper.
