Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage (mild or spicy)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 30 pieces mini phyllo shells
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well blended.
Arrange the mini phyllo shells on a baking sheet. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture into each shell, filling it generously.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is warm and the edges of the phyllo shells are lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
