Ingredients

  • 3 Italian sausages casings removed (you can use spicy Italian sausages if you prefer)
  • 5 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 artisan baguette or French baguette

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Slice bread to 1/2 inch slices.
  • Remove casings from sausages by slicing down length and removing the meat inside. Place meat in bowl and crumble with a fork. Add cheese, fennel seeds, and salt to the bowl and mix evenly.
  • Arrange bread over a baking sheet.
  • Using a knife (I used an offset knife) spread sausage mixture over bread. Top with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and top with parsley. Best served warm.
