Garlic Toasts with Red Pepper Aioli

This is one of my favorite recipes, from my favorite chef, Giada de Laurentiis. It's super simple too if you have roasted red peppers on hand.

Garlic Toasts with Red Pepper Aioli

Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/2 cup roasted red bell peppers, patted dry
• 1/3 cup mayo
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 1/2" slices bread (Giada recommends ciabatta, I use Marsee baking Petit Pairs)
• 2 tbsp olive oil, for drizzling

Method

For the aioli:

In a food processor, finely chop the garlic. Add the roasted red peppers and blend until relatively smooth; add mayo and blend well. With machine running, stream in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

For the toast:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle olive oil over the bread slices. Bake for 5 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.

To serve:

Spoon the aioli liberally on the toasts.
