Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Thinly sliced provolone cheese | 12 slices (about 8 oz) |
| Cooked Italian sausage, crumbled and drained | 1 cup |
| Italian seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
Instructions
- Prepare the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking oil.
- Arrange the cheese: Place the provolone slices on the baking sheet in a single layer, spacing them approximately 1 inch apart.
- Season the sausage: Transfer the cooked, drained sausage to a small bowl. Add the Italian seasoning and stir until evenly distributed.
- Add the topping: Place about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of seasoned sausage in the center of each cheese slice.
- Bake until crispy: Bake for 10–14 minutes, watching closely as the cheese melts and the edges turn golden brown and crunchy.
- Cool and enjoy: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crisps sit for 5–8 minutes to firm up. Gently lift them from the foil and serve warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool.
