Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 sheet of Puff Pastry Dough
- 1 lb Hot Italian Sausage
- 1/2 Sweet Vidalia Onion
- 8 oz Goat Cheese
- Mike's Hot Honey (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400.
- In a large skillet over medium heat sauté 1/2 a sweet yellow onion until translucent. Remove from heat and set aside on a plate.
- In the same large skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until cooked through. Drain liquid.
- Cut up the goat cheese into cubes and add to the sausage and the onions in the skillet.
- Reduce heat to low and cover, stirring occasionally until the cheese is completely melted.
- Spray mini muffin pan generously with non stick cooking spray.
- Unroll thawed puff pastry dough and use a square cookie cutter to cut individual squares out. Take the scraps and re-roll to create additional pieces.
- Place the center of each square over the center of each cup and gently press into pan forming a cup.
- Using a fork, poke holes in the bottom of the puff pastry dough.
- Spoon the sausage and goat cheese mixture into the middle of each cup. I used a 1/2 tbsp per cup.
- Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown.
- Top with a drizzle of honey.
Notes
I do not recommend freezing these. If you are running short on time, make the sausage and cheese filling a day or two in advance and store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Fill and bake the cups 30 minutes before your guests arrive.
