You can find roasted red bell peppers in the pickle section at your local grocery store. Be sure to drain them well on paper towel before placing them on the bread. Slices of Swiss cheese can also be added for a special treat.

This is one of those holiday appetizer recipes that can fill a hole in your guests' stomach! If you have fewer guests, you will be able to decrease the amount of meat you need for your main course. If you are serving them at a cocktail party, I will advice you to make a lot! Your guests will love them and finish them off in a very short time.
