Next, saute the sausage in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side.

Now, place the baguette slices on a sheet pan and put them in the oven for 3-5 minutes for the bread to toast, remove them from the oven and set them aside.

Notes
The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients and a serving size of two crostinis. Serve the appetizer while it is hot and storage is not recommended as the grease from the sausage will make the bread soggy.
