When does $R [x]/I $ has infinitely many idempotents?

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $R[x] $ its polynomial ring. I am looking for a ring with finitely many idempotents and an unextended ideal $I$ in $R[x]$ such that $R[x]/I$ has infinitely many idempotents.

Thank you for any help.
