Warm, cheesy, and perfect for scooping, this Sausage & Cheese Crostini is the kind of appetizer that disappears fast. The combo of creamy melted cream cheese and savory sausage hits all the right notes, especially when piled onto toasted baguette slices. It’s cozy, simple, and always a crowd-pleaser.
You should make Sausage & Cheese Crostini when you’re short on time but still want something hot and satisfying. It only takes a few ingredients, but the flavor is rich and craveable. The chives give it just enough freshness to balance the richness.
Helpful Tips
- Use seasoned breakfast sausage. It has built-in seasoning that gives the dip extra flavor. I like Jimmy Dean Hot or Sage flavored sausage
- Let the cream cheese fully melt. Stir slowly over low heat so the mixture gets smooth and creamy without scorching.
- Toast the baguette slices. A light toast in the oven gives them a crisp texture that holds up to the warm sausage mixture.
