Ingredients
28
slices (1/4 inch thick) baguette French bread (from 12-oz loaf, 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter)
Olive oil cooking spray
1/2
lb bulk hot Italian sausage
2/3
cup Alfredo pasta sauce
1
teaspoon Italian seasoning
1
large tomato, seeded, chopped (1 cup)
1
can (2 1/4 oz) sliced ripe olives, drained
1 1/2
cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 oz)
Chopped fresh parsley, if desired
Preparation
Heat oven to 400°F. Line large cookie sheet with foil. On cookie sheet, arrange bread slices with sides touching. Spray tops of bread slices lightly with cooking spray. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until light golden brown.
Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking into small pieces, until no longer pink; drain. Stir in Alfredo sauce and Italian seasoning.
Spoon sausage mixture evenly over bread slices. Sprinkle evenly with tomato, olives and cheese. Bake about 6 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot.
