Yield: 16 canapés • Preparation: 30 minutes • Bake: 5 to 7 minutes • Cool: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 (24-inch) very thin French baguette
- 2 (4-inch) links apple-chicken sausage
- 1 cup very finely chopped red kale, stems removed
- ½ cup very finely chopped red apple, such as Gala
- 1 recipe Apple Cider Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Using a serrated bread knife, cut 16 (¼-inch) slices from baguette. Place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until lightly toasted, 5 to 7 minutes. Let crostini cool completely on baking sheet.
- Cook sausage in water according to package directions. Let cool enough to handle. Cut into ¼ inch slices. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine kale and apple, tossing to blend. Add just enough Apple Cider Vinaigrette to moisten slaw, tossing to combine. Reserve remaining vinaigrette.
- In a medium nonstick sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until oil shimmers. Sear sausage slices on each side quickly, just until lightly browned. Remove from heat.
- Brush one side of each crostini lightly with reserved vinaigrette, and top with a sausage slice and with slaw.
