Ingredients

12 ounce johnsonville breakfast sausage patties
2 small roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup fresh pineapple, diced
4 strawberries, hulled and diced
4 basil leaves, chiffonade
1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped
3 tablespoon maple syrup
1 french baguette, half-inch slices
1/3 cup olive oil
8 slices of fresh mozzarella, cut in half

Directions

On a cutting board, cut each raw sausage patty in half and re-form them into 16 mini patties. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage patties for 6 to 8 minutes, or until cooked through and browned, remembering to turn the patties often. Remove the patties from the heat and set aside on a plate.
In a bowl, combine tomato, pineapple, strawberries, basil, mint, and syrup; set aside. Place the oven rack in the top third section of the oven; set to broil. On a baking sheet, place 16 slices of bread, brush lightly on one side with olive oil, and place oiled side down. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. Using tongs, flip bread slices. Place one piece of the mozzarella on each slice of bread. Return the bread and cheese to the oven; broil for 1 minute longer. Transfer to a serving plate. Top each with a cooked sausage patty. Spoon 1 tablespoon of fruit mixture onto each patty and serve.
