Sausage Bruschetta
These easy Sausage Bruschetta are topped with a savory Italian sausage and cheese mixture, then baked until crisp, golden, and perfectly melty.
Ingredients
- 1 French baguette sliced into ½-inch pieces
- 1 lb Italian sausage mild or hot, casings removed
- 1 cup grated soft cheese such as Fontina or Gruyère
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
- Italian parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toast the bread: Brush the baguette slices with olive oil on both sides and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Remove from oven.
- Make the topping: In a medium bowl, combine the Italian sausage, grated cheese, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly — using your hands works best to fully incorporate the ingredients.
- Assemble: Top each toasted baguette slice with an even amount of the sausage mixture.
- Bake: Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve: Top with freshly grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Fontina and Gruyère melt beautifully, but mozzarella or provolone work well too.
