How to Make Feta, Pepper, and Olive Bites
To make this simple recipe, you'll start by sauteing the bell peppers. I used a mix of red and yellow peppers, but one color of pepper would work just fine.
You'll cook the peppers over medium-high heat, and it only takes a few minutes.
Once the peppers are ready, it's assembly time!
You'll top a TRISCUIT Cracked Pepper & Olive Oil Cracker with a slice of feta, then a layer of peppers. Next comes a sprinkle of sliced fresh basil, followed by a Kalamata olive. How easy was that?
