We get tired of making the fast food runs at lunch at our office. We also get tired of the same 'ole thing over and over. I am so glad that we have our oven (Betsy) here at work. I also have brought in a crock-pot, griddle and lots of kitchen gadgets throughout the years to use when cooking or baking for my co-worker's. Brandi (our new admin/front desk) says she isn't much of a cook. I am trying to find things that I can teach her to make that would be easy for her. She has a little three year old girl so teaching her to make some great little food items will help them both out. Today's menu I called French Bread Bruschetta Pizza Appetizers. These were delicious and didn't take long to make. I made 21 of these and they were inexpensive to make for our crowd. I started out with purchasing fresh French Bread from the Walmart Bakery. They make bread loaves hot and fresh each morning and are only $1.00 a loaf! This time I added a little mild sausage crumbs and bacon to each one. If you have been following my recipes and blog you know that I always pre-soak the roma tomatoes in avocado olive oil, garlic pepper, salt & pepper. While you are slicing the french bread you can let the tomatoes soak. This makes a big difference and really brings out the flavor. Here's the Recipe: Ingredients: 2 Loaves French Bread 2-3 Roma Tomatoes 1/4 cup Wishbone Avocado Olive Oil Lowry's Garlic Pepper Salt/Pepper 1 pkg Jimmy Dean Pre-cooked Sausage Crumbles 10-12 slices Oscar Mayer Pre-Cooked Bacon 1/2 cup - 1 cup of Pasta Sauce (I use Bertolli) Chopped white onion (just about a half cup) 1 cup Kraft Mozzarella Cheese 1 cup Kraft Parmesan Cheese Margarine To Make: Preheat Oven to 400 Degrees Spray Large Cookie Sheets with Pam Spray - (It took 2 large sheets for the 21 pieces I made) Put 8-10 slices of the Jimmy Dean -Pre cooked Bacon in Microwave for approx. 30 seconds and then pat off grease. Crumble into bits. Slice Tomatoes and chop - Put in bowl and put the white onion, a few pinches of the Lowry's Garlic Pepper, salt/pepper (a pinch of each) and 1/4 cup of Wishbone Avocado Olive Oil and let soak. Slice French Bread into quarter slices (not to thin or not too thick) and lay about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Spread a little margarine over each slice of bread Spread a teaspoon of your Pasta Sauce on top of the Butter Bread Sprinkle a pinch of Mozzarella Cheese on each slice Top with a half of Teaspoon of the pre-soak tomatoes on each one Top with A Teaspoon of the pre-cooked Sausage Crumbles on each one Top with a few pinches of the Oscar Mayer Bacon Bits Add a few more pinches of the Mozzarella Cheese Add a few pinches of Parmesan Cheese to each Bake at 400 Degrees until cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Approximately 10-12 minutes. These were delicious and we had them as our lunch meal. However, these would make great party appetizers for your upcoming Holiday Parties! I will post this recipe under the Appetizer section of the Blog so it will stay up. Enjoy!
