Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium red bell pepper about 6 oz
  • 8 oz sharp white cheddar freshly coarsely grated
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 8 slices soft seeded rye bread

Method
 

  1. Heat broiler; place whole pepper on a foil-lined sheet 6 inches below heat. Broil 10 to 14 minutes, turning until blistered all over.
  2. Cover in a bowl 10 minutes; peel, seed, and blot dry. Finely dice; cool completely on a plate about 10 minutes.
  3. Mix mayonnaise, yogurt, onion powder, cayenne, and pepper. Fold in cheddar and cooled pepper, keeping cheese visibly shredded.
  4. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes until firm and cold. Cooling and chilling are included in prep time.
  5. Spread one-quarter mixture on each of 4 rye slices; close and cut diagonally. Serve cold or refrigerate at 40°F or below; transport with ice packs.
