DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F.
• Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
• Use a sharp knife or a pastry cutter to cut the pastry into small circles (about 1-2 inches per circle).
• Place the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush each circle with an egg wash (beaten egg) for a golden finish.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes.

2. Prepare the Sausage Bites:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Make tiny meatballs from the Everything sausage. Sear and cook through for 5-7 minutes.
• Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.

3.  Make the Cream Cheese, Onion, and Garlic Cream:

• In a medium pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat.
• Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
• Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until fragrant. Remove from heat.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until smooth.

4. Assemble the Puff Pastry Bites:

• Once the puff pastry squares have baked for 10-12 minutes and are lightly golden, remove them from the oven.
• Using a spoon or knife, carefully make an indent on top of each puff pastry bite, then add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture.
• Add a small sausage meatball on top of the cream cheese mixture.
• Garnish with parmesan cheese & enjoy!!
