Delicious bruschetta! Fairly easy too. I used minced leftover sausage from Recipe#213442 so I did change recipe slightly. First I wilted the fresh spinach, omitted the garlic b/c the sausage had plenty, and then added the minced sausage with the ricotta and seasonings. I erred by broiling the bread for a bit on one side then adding the spread --I should NOT have done that as the bread toasted too much and the spread did not get a chance to be nice and bubbly like it should have. I should have followed your directions here as they are better. Thank you Hey Jude for posting.
