Ingredients

  • 3 each Puff Pastry Shells
  • 1 each smoked beef sausage or use turkey sausage
  • honey for drizzling optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Separate puff pastry shells and arrange on ungreased baking sheet. Bake according to instructions on package. I reduced oven temp to 400 (package suggests 425 degrees) for even baking in my oven. Adjust your oven temp if necessary.
  • While pastry shells are baking, prepare Smoked Beef Sausage (or turkey sausage)).
  • Place whole sausage links (2 per package) in the saucepan. Cover sausage with water. Bring to boil over medium heat. To reduce sodium content, boil for 2 minutes. Flip over and boil 2 additional minutes.
  • Drain and discard water. Pat sausage links dry with paper towels. Split in half
  • Wipe skillet dry with a thick towel. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over pan. Warm over medium heat.
  • Fry split sausage links for about 3 minutes on each side until a light brown crust forms. Remove heat. Pat dry with paper towels. Chop into small pieces that will fit into the pastry cups. Set aside.
  • Remove pastry shells from oven. Allow to cool 5 minutes. Remove tops from pastry cups. If tops look thick on bottom, return tops to HOT oven for 5 minutes.
  • Stuff hallow shells with chopped smoked sausage.
  • Serve hot.
  • Drizzle each serving with honey (optional).

Notes

VARIATION: Pack a tablespoon or two of scrambled cheese and eggs in bottom of shell. Top with chopped smoked sausage. Serve immediately.
