I like this recipe because it’s easy to throw together in minutes and always a crowd favorite! Try it with Baked Potato Soup and a simple green salad for dinner.

Ingredients for Italian Sausage Bruschetta

  • 1 baguette, cut at a sllight angle into 12-14 1-inch slices
  • 7 ounces sweet Italian vegan sausage
  • 1 1/2 cups vegan Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Ingredient Notes:

  • For the sausage, I used 2 links of Beyond Sausage in Sweet Italian.
  • The cheese is from a block of Daiya brand Monterey Jack that I shredded using a regular cheese grater. Provolone cheese would also work well.
  • Fresh sage can be swapped for the dried sage. The amount for fresh sage is 1 1/2 tablespoons, finely chopped.

How to Make Italian Sausage Bruschetta

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place baguette slices onto a baking sheet.

STEP TWO: Into a medium skillet over medium-high heat, crumble the sausage. Cook 5 minutes, until browned, using a spatula to break up any large clumps. Transfer the cooked sausage to a medium-sized bowl.

STEP THREE: Add cheese, sage, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

STEP FOUR: Spoon the sausage and cheese mixture onto each of the bread slices to cover.

STEP FIVE: Bake 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melty, then serve.

Can This Be Made Ahead?

The sausage and cheese topping can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator. On the day of serving, just top the baguette slices with the mixture and bake.

Once assembled, this dish is best enjoyed the same day.
