For New Year’s, a fast and delicious appetizer, sausage and stracchino crostini, but of course, they are great to make all year round, perfect for those evenings with friends, because we can prepare many without much effort and with a small budget. We just need some bread, even stale from one or two days before, some sausage meat, and stracchino cheese, nothing more. Since the sausage is already seasoned and quite fatty, no extra ingredients are needed, not even salt. I added just a touch of thyme after baking, which besides adding flavor, gives some color to the crostini. Let’s see how to prepare them.

Steps for Preparing Sausage and Stracchino Crostini
Prepare 12 slices of bread, 6 cut in half, about 0.4 inches thick.
In a bowl, mix the sausage meat, removed from its casing, with the stracchino cheese, until obtaining a homogeneous cream.
Spread the cream on the bread with a knife, without cooking it first; we will do that now.
Arrange the filled bread crostini on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking silicone mat.
Bake in a static oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and enjoy hot with a sprinkle of thyme on top.
A delicious appetizer to prepare quickly at the last minute. They can also be prepared a bit in advance and baked at the last moment.
