EVOO
1/2 Red Onion, thinly sliced
1 Large Clove Garlic
Fresh Baby Spinach
Pickled Hot Peppers

Directions

Prepare the pesto according to the recipe directions and set aside. You can also substitute with your favourite store-bought brand if desired.

Preheat a non-stick skillet to just about medium and once heated, add the sausages. Cook on all sides until blistered and warmed through. Carefully remove the sausages to a cutting board and cut them in half lengthwise. Return them to the skillet sliced side down and give them another minute or two before flipping and finishing for another minute or so until blistered on all sides.
While the sausages cook, warm up your oven according to the directions for the baguette. Cut the baguette in to 3 equal sized pieces and get them on a baking sheet. Warm them up in the oven according to package directions. Remove the tray and get your baguettes on a cutting board. Slice them open and give them a drizzle of EVOO
Heat up a grill pan on just about medium and once heated, grill the open sides of the baguettes until golden brown and toasty. Remove the baguettes back to your cutting board and gently smash your garlic clove. Rub the grilled sides of the baguettes with the garlic clove. Spread some pesto on the bottom of the baguettes followed by some spinach and nestle the cooked sausages on top. Transfer the sammies back to the same baking sheet and lay your slices off mozzarella on top of the sausages. Set the oven to BROIL HIGH and place the tray in to the oven. Let the sammies go under the broiler for a couple of minutes until the cheese is melty. Remove the tray carefully and get your sammies back on your cutting board.
Spread more pesto on the top of the baguettes and pile some sliced red onion and pickled hot peppers on the sammies. Close them up and serve. ENJOY!
