Ingredients:

Serving

1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
1 tbsp fresh basil, minced
1 tbsp capers
1 small garlic clove, minced
salt & freshly ground black pepper
8 oz cream cheese
4 oz feta cheese (can be flavored)
3 oz goat cheese
2 tbsp pine nuts
fresh basil (to garnish )
18 crostini (lightly toasted, thin sliced , french bread)

Directions:

Take cheeses out of refrigerator to bring to room temperature.
Roast bell peppers. Place pepper on a foil lined broiler pan. Broil turning as sides begin to char. Wrap tightly in the foil and let cool. This will steam them so the skin removes easily. When cool, remove stems, skins and seeds.
Dice peppers and add vinegar, oil, herbs, capers and garlic. Add salt and pepper. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
Toast pine nuts in a dry pan, shaking until they take on a little color. This can take as little as a minute or two so don't walk away from pan.
Blend cream cheese, feta and goat cheese in a small bowl until smooth. Shape into a mound on the serving platter and slightly flatten the top.
Pour marinated peppers over the cheese, then garnish with toasted pine nuts and basil. Surround with crostini.
