Ingredients

  • 2 loaves French bread (8 ounces each), each cut into 15 slices
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 pkg. (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 pkg. Jimmy Dean® Regular Flavor Pork Sausage Roll, cooked, crumbled, drained
  • 1½ cups (6 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh basil
  • 1½ teaspoons finely chopped rosemary (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush both sides of bread slices with oil; place in single layer on baking sheets. Bake 6-8 minutes or until both sides of each bread slice are lightly toasted, turning after 4 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, sausage, mozzarella cheese, red pepper, onion and basil in large bowl. Stir in rosemary and cayenne pepper, if desired.

3. Top bread slices with sausage mixture.

4. Bake 7-10 minutes or until topping is thoroughly heated. Serve warm.

Cook’s Tips: Make Ahead: Sausage mixture can be made ahead of time. Refrigerate up to 24 hours before using as directed. Substitute: Melt ¼ cup butter. Use instead of the oil.
