Preparation Steps
Rolling Out the Toast Bread
- Grab your slices of toast bread and roll them out gently with a rolling pin. This step helps to flatten the bread and makes it easier to work with when assembling our appetizers.
Creating the Cheese Filling
- In a bowl, grate the hard cheese using a fine grater.
- Add in the minced garlic cloves, mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of oregano for that extra burst of flavor.
- Mix everything together until you have a smooth and creamy cheese filling ready to go.
Preparing the Sausages
- In a frying pan, cook the sausages until they are nicely browned on all sides.
- Once cooked, slice each sausage in half lengthwise to create smaller pieces that will fit perfectly on our toast bread.
Assembling the Appetizers
- Take each rolled-out slice of toast bread and secure two opposite corners together with a toothpick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush each toast envelope with a mixture of olive oil and oregano for that extra kick of flavor.
- Pop them in the oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius for 7-10 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once out of the oven, remove the toothpicks from the toast envelopes and fill each with a generous amount of the prepared cheese filling.
- Top it off with a half slice of sausage for the perfect finishing touch.
Garnishing with Herbs and Mustard
- To add a pop of color and freshness, garnish your appetizers with chopped parsley.
- Serve alongside a dollop of mustard for dipping.
