Red & Yellow Pepper Gratin

This was a really delicious (and very healthy) side dish. It takes a lot of chopping and a long time cooking, but it's worth it. Corey and I both loved this Cooking Light recipe from 2007.

RED & YELLOW PEPPER GRATIN

If you don't have sourdough bread, use any type of bread. I personally used a leftover hamburger bun!
