Sausage Toasts
This is a simple and delicious recipe from The Silver Spoon cookbook. This hors d’oeuvre can easily be prepped up to 6 hours before your guests arrive: assemble all of the ingredients, spread on bread slices, stack on a plate, cover and refrigerate. Just as your first guests arrive, pop the first batch in the oven. This gives you time to greet your guests and enjoy a cocktail with them. TIPS: Chilling the taleggio in the freezer will make it infinitely easier to slice and dice the cheese. If you can’t find Premio brand sweet Italian sausage, use 1 pound of your favorite Italian sausage and combine with 1-2 tablespoons fennel seeds. This recipe can easily be halved (or doubled).
