Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a muffin tin with non-stick spray or parchment paper circles.
Cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and cooked sausage until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Finely chop the green onions and stir them into the egg mixture.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 equal squares, approximately 3x3 inches each.
Press each puff pastry square into the prepared muffin tin, making sure the edges extend slightly above the tin.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sausage and cheese mixture into each pastry shell.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling in each tart, leaving a bit of space at the top to prevent overflow.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of each tart for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
Allow the tarts to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
