Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 pound Ground sausage
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush it lightly with melted butter using a pastry brush. Layer another sheet on top, brush with butter, and repeat until you have a stack of 4 sheets.
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 12 equal squares (approximately 3x3 inches). Gently press each square into the muffin cups to form a phyllo cup. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets to make 12 cups in total.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, green onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sausage filling into each prepared phyllo cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy and the filling is heated through.
Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the sausage cups cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.
Serve warm and enjoy!
