Method

In a convection frying pan or similar pan, cook peppers with sausage, covered, keeping whole; set aside. Wipe pan. Prepare sauce by mixing mustard, garlic, mayonnaise, basil and vinegar in a small cup. Set aside. Cut sausage the long way to create 1/4-inch thick strips about 4 inches long. Set pan on low heat, adding two pieces of garlic toast to bottom. While that is cooking, spoon half of sauce on each slice, then layer sausage, peppers, dried tomatoes, then 1/4 the cheese on each. Finish with the top piece of bread. Cook, flattening slightly, about 5 minutes on each side on medium heat, flipping carefully. Top with remaining cheese; cover pan to melt. Serve cut in two.

 

Notes: I use Turkey sausage with this recipe for a lower-cal meal with less grease.

 

Number of Servings: 2-4
