I got this recipe from the book la dolce vita The Sweet Life in Cortona, Tuscany, Italy. Although I can't recommend the book, this recipe sounds very similar to something I had in Cortona this past summer. If any of the ingredients sound ambiguous, blame the author! There is no serving size information in the book, so that is a guess on my part. Ingredients:
1 cup highly flavored fresh italian sausage |
7 ounces fresh fresh stracchino cheese (crescenza, or a coarsely grated semi-hard stracchino cheese) |
fresh ground black pepper |
1 loaf italian bread, cut into 1/2 inch thick slices toasted in the oven |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Squeeze the sausage meat out of the casings and into a mixing bowl. Add the cheese and pepper and mix very thoroughly with a fork.
3. Spread each toast with a generous helping of the sausage and cheese mixture. Place on a cookie sheet.
4. Bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the topping is bubbling.
5. Serve piping hot, straight from the oven.
