Toast the bread: Cut the bread into 1-inch-thick slices. Toast the slices in the toaster or by brushing them with olive oil and placing them under the broiler until golden brown and crispy.
To assemble: If desired, rub the toasted bread with a sliced garlic clove for an extra layer of flavor. Then, top each slice of bread with a spoonful of cooked sausage.
Add cheese: Sprinkle the sausage generously with grated cheese.
Melt the cheese: Place the bruschetta under the broiler for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
To garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or oregano, a drizzle of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Serve this as a tasty appetizer at your next gathering or enjoy it as a snack with friends!
