## 👩🍳 How to Make It
### 1. **Preheat Oven**
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
### 2. **Prepare the Sausages**
Place the chicken sausages in the baking dish. If using fresh sausages, prick them a few times with a fork to prevent bursting.
### 3. **Season and Add Cheese**
Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper evenly over the sausages. Generously cover the sausages with shredded cheese.
### 4. **Bake Until Golden and Melty**
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the sausages are cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C) and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
### 5. **Garnish and Serve**
Remove from oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley or basil for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot.
