Smashed Italian Sausage Sandwiches

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your Blackstone griddle to high heat and lightly drizzle with cooking oil.

2. 2

   Divide the sausage into 4 loose balls (about 3 ounces each), place them on the griddle, and press them flat with a burger press. Cook until the first side is well-seared, then flip and cook through.

3. 3

   While the sausage cooks, mix the mayonnaise with freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and Blackstone Tuscan Herb seasoning to taste.

4. 4

   Spread the lemon mayo on the inside of each brioche bun and place them cut-side down on the griddle. Toast until lightly browned, then remove.

5. 5

   Top each sausage patty with sliced basil and mozzarella. Add a small splash of water to the griddle and cover with a lid or basting dome to help melt the cheese.

6. 6

   To assemble, spread lemon mayo on the bottom bun, add a sausage patty, and top with two slices of tomato. Add a little more lemon mayo and a sprinkle of Tuscan Herb seasoning, then place the top bun on and serve.
