A real "TREAT" for your tastebuds!

Everything You Will Need!

1/2 Pound fresh Papa Cantella's Italian sausage
(removed from casing)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon crushed or chopped garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup Ricotta cheese
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated Provolone cheese
1 cup fresh, ripe tomatoes
(peeled, seeded & chopped)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
18 slices of baguette-style bread
(cut 1/2 inch slices)

In a medium-sized skillet, cook the sausage, onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to crumble the sausage.

Remove the mixture & place in a medium sized bowl. Do not drain.

Add in the Ricotta cheese, one half of the Parmesan cheese, the Provolone cheese, tomatoes, basil, parsley and salt & pepper to taste and mix together.

Pre-heat broiler. Place the rack 6-8 inches from the heat source.

Put one tablespoon of mixture onto each of the bread slices and sprinkle the tops with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Place on a cookie sheet & broil for about 5-6 minutes.
