Sourdough and Provolone and Sausage...OH MY!

A friend's mom posted a link to this recipe on Facebook recently and I couldn't help trying it out on some friends today. I think it got a couple of thumbs up, but not sure due to them stuffing their faces.

Super easy and super editable. Any combination of ingredients can be used - whatever your taste. Experiment and let me know your results! It's great for an appetizer or snack. Not waist friendly, but definitely tastebud friendly!!
