Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole baguette
- 3 links Italian sausages
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette diagonally into 12 equal pieces, each about 1 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Brush the top of each baguette slice with olive oil using a pastry brush. Set aside.
Remove the casing from the Italian sausages and crumble the sausage meat into small pieces.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage pieces until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
Top each baguette slice with a spoonful of salsa, spreading it evenly over the surface.
Add a small handful of cooked sausage pieces on top of the salsa on each slice.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over all the baguette slices.
Bake the prepared baguette slices in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the baguettes cool slightly.
Garnish each slice with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Sausage Salsa Baguettes!
