   *To Serve* ~ Cut ea pepper in 9 slices, reward yourself w/the bottom slice & put the 16 remaining slices atop the bread squares cut to approximate the size of the sliced peppers.

   *Note* ~ My pic is a departure from the *To Serve* suggestion, mainly because DH bought only green peppers which were lrg & not well-sized for the rye bread he bought instead of pumpernickel.
