*Balsamic Vinegar: there are many brands and varieties out there. For this recipe, I like a rich, thick balsamic vinegar, like Ritrovo. The flavor is less vinigary, more complex and sweet.
To DIY Roasting Red Bell Peppers (two methods):
Oven Roasting Peppers: Preheat oven to Broil. Place the peppers on a sheet pan and char large peppers for about 15 minutes rotating every 4-5 minutes so that all sides are blackened. Minis take less time, rotate about every 3 minutes.
Stove Top Open Flame Method: Place the peppers on the grate over a medium open flame, using tongs to turn the peppers as they char. Getting them good and blackened. You’ll need to make sure to stay with the peppers the entire time while roasting. This takes about 10-15 minutes.
The peppers should be charred on all sides when finished. Place in a bowl and cover for 15 minutes to steam (this will help the skins come off with ease). Peel, remove the stem and deseed. If the seeds are sticking, gently run the pepper under a stream of water. Pat dry. Slice the peppers to size to fit the bread.

Really good. Fast and easy to made and so tasty. Will do it again
I made this for my mom for mother's day and she loved it, thanks for sharing your recipe with us.
My adult kids always request this recipe. It’s so delicious! I’m planning to make it ahead and reheat in the oven. Do I need to wrap it in foil or just put it on a cookie sheet? Thanks
So delicious! The ingredients compliment each other nicely!
I love a good panini, Traci! Goat cheese and sautéed veggies are full of flavor - perfect for this sandwich. This would be a great make ahead and then grill when friends come over - easy peasy!
