Crispy Garlic Butter Sausage Toast Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (your choice, such as sourdough or ciabatta)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled (use your favorite type, such as Italian sausage)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Crispy Garlic Butter Sausage Toast:
Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, dried oregano or Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the Toast: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a toaster oven.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Toast the Bread: Place the bread slices butter-side up on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Cook the Sausage: While the bread is toasting, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and crumbled. This should take about 5-7 minutes. If using pre-cooked sausage, just warm it up and crumble it.
Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is crispy, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the garlic buttered side of each toast.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it on top of the sausage.
Finish and Garnish: Return the toast to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sausage is heated through and the cheese (if using) is melted.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve: Slice the toast into smaller pieces if serving as an appetizer or keep whole for a hearty snack.
Recipe Notes:
Bread Choice: Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the toppings and get crispy.
Garlic Butter: For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of smoked paprika to the garlic butter mixture.
Variations: You can customize this recipe by adding other toppings such as sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra heat.
