Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 French bread
- 8 ounces (226 grams) andouille sausage
Sauce and Spread:
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Seasonings and Garnishes:
- 1 tablespoon minced bread and butter or dill pickles
- 1 teaspoon capers, drained
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Craft a zesty remoulade by blending mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, pickles, capers, and Cajun seasoning in a mixing bowl. Refrigerate the sauce to let flavors meld.
- Heat the oven to 425F (220C) and prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil, lightly coated with cooking spray.
- Split the French bread lengthwise and arrange cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Enhance the bread with a light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of minced garlic. Toast for 10 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce across the toasted bread, then add a dash of hot sauce for extra kick.
- Create the first cheese layer by sprinkling mozzarella over the sauce.
- Distribute Andouille sausage, onion, bell pepper, and celery evenly across the bread.
- Complete the pizza with a final layer of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 15 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts completely and the bread turns golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
- Finish by drizzling the prepared remoulade sauce over the pizza before serving.
Notes
- Swap Andouille for turkey sausage to create a lighter protein option with reduced fat content.
- Using gluten-free French bread makes this recipe completely celiac-friendly and accessible for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Adjust spice levels by selecting mild or hot Cajun seasoning based on personal heat tolerance and preference.
- Prepare the poboy sauce ahead of time and store in refrigerator for up to three days, allowing flavors to meld and intensify before serving.
