Drizzle with olive oil. Slice figs into 1/4-inch thick rounds, about 16 slices, and arrange over cheese. Sprinkle Feta cheese over figs. Pinch sausage into pieces no larger than a quarter and arrange evenly over Feta. Finish with a sprinkling of chopped almonds. Bake in preheated oven for five minutes until dark golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with sage leaves before serving.
