Ingredients
- 1 whole baguette

- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
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.

Step 6
Top each baguette slice with a spoonful of salsa, spreading it evenly over the surface.
Step 7
Add a small handful of cooked sausage pieces on top of the salsa on each slice.
Step 8
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over all the baguette slices.
Step 9
Bake the prepared baguette slices in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
