Bread Crumb Lasagna

Ingredients

Bread (any variety)           4 slices
Tomato                        1, large, diced
Yellow Onion, finely diced    1/2 cup, 
Canned ripe olives, diced     1/2 cup
Smoked sausage                1 small link (8 oz.)
Italian seasoning blend       1 Tablespoon
Tomato sauce                  1 small can (8 oz.)
Cheese (see instructions)     4 slices (approx 4 oz.)

Any sort of bread will do but I like to use heavier breads
like Millet, Ezekial or whole Spelt.  Any variety of fully
cooked, smoked sausage will do nicely.  I like to open a
can of whole ripe olives and coarsely dice a half cup of
them but it's ok to use a small (4.25 oz.) can of diced
olives.  The Italian blend I prefer (#271 from sfherb.com)
contains Oregano, Basil, Rosemary, Thyme, Sage and Marjoram.
Four ounces of your favorite pizza cheese will do nicely but
we use four slices of provolone or mozzerella flavored soy
cheese.

Dice sausage into half inch cubes.  Lightly toast bread and
dice into one inch cubes.  Combine seasoning, sausage,
onions and bread with a tablespoon of olive oil in skillet
and saute until onions are translucent.  Add olives, diced
tomato and tomato sauce.  Continue to saute until tomato
sauce has been distributed throughout, been mostly absorbed,
and mixture begins to dry out.  Spread mixture uniformly in
skillet, place four slices of cheese evenly over the top,
cover, and leave on medium heat until cheese is well melted.
Remove from range and serve.

This recipe makes four conservative, three liberal, or two
generous servings.
