Ingredients

• 1 loaf baguette
• 4 links spicy Italian sausage
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Brush each slice lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the spicy Italian sausage links until browned and fully cooked, about 10-12 minutes. Let them cool slightly, then slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Step 5

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, then remove from heat.

Step 6

To assemble the brochettas, place a sausage slice on each toasted baguette slice. Top with a spoonful of the sautéed tomato mixture.

Step 7

Garnish each brochetta with a basil leaf and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy the spicy, savory flavors!
