Preheat the oven to 375 degree F.

In a small bowl, season the goat cheese with salt and pepper and mix until creamy. Spread a thin layer of the goat cheese over each toast.
Spread the grated Manchego in a shallow bowl. Dredge the peppers in the cheese to generously coat.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook the peppers over moderate heat, turning once with a spatula, for about 2 minutes per side, until richly browned and crusty.
Using a spatula, scrape the peppers from the pan, then transfer to the toasts.
Serve and enjoy!
