Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet, preferably add onion; cook over medium heat until it begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add bell peppers and garlic; cook 2 minutes.
Add vinegar, salt and pepper.
Reduce to low heat and cook until vegetables are soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add basil.
Can be cooked a day ahead; heat gently on the stove or in the microwave oven before using.
Meanwhile, brush the bread with remaining olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake in a 400-degree oven until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes; set aside.
Combine marinara sauce and cream in a small saucepan To serve, divide vegetable mixture over toasted bread slices. Top each with an egg and marinara sauce. Sprinkle cheese over and serve at once.
