Yield: 6 servings
tbsp oil
cup green or red bell-peppers- chopped finely
tbsp black olives- chopped finely
cup mushrooms - chopped finely
cup mixed yellow and white cheese
cup green chutney or pesto sauce
Take the bread slices, cut off their edges and keep aside. Preheat oven to 325 degrees, spray cooking spray on a muffin pan, then place each bread slice in the muffin cups. Shape them to form like a basket. You can even flatten them a bit using a rolling pin. Bake for 10–15 mins, making sure to check they they do not burn. It should just become hard and take the shape of a basket.
Take a pan, add 1 tbsp olive or cooking oil, and saute the onions and bell peppers until a bit tender. Add the chopped olives, and mushrooms, season with some salt, pepper and dry basil flakes, and cook a little more.
Now take each bread cup/basket, spread some green chutney with a knife, then add a spoonful of the mixture to it. Drizzle with some ketchup as required, then spread mixed cheese on the top. Lightly brush the 4 corners of the basket with melted margarine so they don't get burnt.
Transfer the cups back to the muffin pan, then bake at 200 degrees for about 7–8 minutes, just until the cheese melts. Now change the oven setting to Broil, and bake the baskets for another 1 minute.
Remove from the oven, let them cool a bit and serve immediately.
