Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush 3 large halved and seeded red bell peppers with 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Grill the peppers skin-side down for 6-8 minutes until charred and softened.
  2. Step 2: Remove peppers and let cool slightly, then peel off the charred skin and slice into thick strips.
  3. Step 3: Toast 8 slices of sourdough bread until golden and warm. Rub each slice with a halved garlic clove to lightly infuse flavor.
  4. Step 4: Spread 6 oz softened goat cheese evenly on 4 slices of the toasted bread. Layer grilled red pepper strips and 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves over the cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  5. Step 5: Optional: Press sandwiches in a panini press for 2-3 minutes until warm and slightly compressed before serving.
