20 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 4 (2.25 oz) links smoked sausage
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 12 large, fresh basil leaves, halved
  • ¼ cup light mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons basil pesto
  • 24 fresh zucchini slices (about 2 cups)
  • 7 oz cracker-cut cheddar (or Monterey Jack) cheese
  • Toothpicks

Steps

    1. Cut each sausage diagonally into 6 1-inch-thick slices. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan and add sausage; cook 1–2 minutes on each side or until hot and lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside. Cut basil leaves in half horizontally.
    2. Combine mayonnaise and pesto, and spread ½ teaspoon on each zucchini slice. Top each with 1 cheese slice and 1 sausage slice. Roll basil leaf halves and secure to stacks with toothpicks. Serve.
