Note

This recipe is described as a hearty version of bruschetta, using deli roast beef and roasted peppers for a savory twist.

For best results, ensure the bread is toasted until crisp before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.

The original text mentions shredded Italian cheese, but it is not listed in the ingredients. If desired, add a sprinkle of cheese before baking or after toasting.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven to restore crispness.
