Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-2 clove garlic (minced)
  • 2 Italian sausages (casing removed and chopped into small bits)
  • 1 cup bell pepper (thinly sliced / red, yellow or green or a combination) (106 grams)
  • 1/2 medium onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1-3 pinches salt
  • 1-2 dashes black pepper or hot pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup cheese* (shredded)
  • 6 lices grilled bread
*I used a medium firm goat's cheese, it gives the perfect bit to the ingredients. If you prefer you could use a firm mozzarella, parmesan cheese, fontal, Swiss or even gruyere.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Thinly slice the onion and bell pepper. Chop the sausage (without the casing) into small bits. In a medium to large frying pan add the olive oil, minced garlic, thinly sliced veggies, sausage and spices.
  2. Cook on medium heat (uncovered) until tender and sausage is browned, stirring occasionally. Once it is cooked, move the topping to a clean bowl to cool, then add the shredded cheese and stir to combine.
  3. Pre-heat oven to 375F (190C). Line a medium/large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Grill the sliced bread, either on a pan grill or bbq, place the slices on the prepared cookie sheet. Divide the topping between each slice of bread. I added a little extra cheese on top. Then place the sheet in the hot oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
