Can anyone else believe we’re practically to the holiday season? In a few short weeks, our lives will be filled with lots of eating, holiday parties, events, shopping, time with loved ones, etc. It’s the best time of year and my favorite time!

We have friends over a lot this time of year so I’ve become a master in easy appetizers that are so simple but extremely delicious. Today I thought I’d share one of my husband’s favorites, sausage cream cheese bites. You’ll love them and wonder why you haven’t made them sooner!

Sausage Cream Cheese Bites

Ingredients

  • 1/2 a pound of Odom’s Tennessee Pride Sausage (Mild 1lb Sausage)

I use Odom’s Tennessee Pride Sausage because it’s high-quality, fresh pork. It’s also made with the Odom’s family secret spice blend recipe. It creates a delicious real country flavor that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser! It can be used in many different ways from breakfast to lunch to appetizers! You can find it at your local Walmart. 

  • 1/2 cup of cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry

Directions

  • Head to Walmart to get all of your ingredients.
  • Preheat oven to 375° F
  • Remove 1 sheet of puff pastry from the freezer and let it thaw. You want it to be able to fold without breaking.
  • Cook the 1/2 pound of Odom’s Tennessee Pride Sausage on the stove until browned.
  • Once the sausage is cooked, mix in with softened cream cheese.
  • After the puff pastry has thawed, cut in post-it size squares. Then place in a muffin tin.
  • But 1 egg in a small bowl and beat with a fork until runny.
  • Once the egg is runny brush onto puff pastry. If you don’t have a brush, I used the fork and it worked fine.
  • Spoon the sausage/cream cheese mixture onto the puff pastry.
  • Put in the oven and let it bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
  • Put on a platter or plate and enjoy!

Prep time is 15 minutes, cook time is 15 minutes, so it’s a quick and easy recipe! My husband loves these and asks for them regularly.

    These look great! I’m going to have to try them for the next tailgate! Yum!

  4. Karen says

    October 20, 2019 at 7:47 pm

    Do you have to use egg?

  5. Brittany says

    October 20, 2019 at 9:02 pm

    How many does this make?

  6. gretahollar says

    October 21, 2019 at 12:32 am

    It made 12!

  7. gretahollar says

    October 21, 2019 at 12:34 am

    I’ve actually not used an egg before and don’t tell a huge difference. It just helps the puff pastry cook a little better.

  8. Shari says

    October 21, 2019 at 1:56 pm

    Do you drain the sausage?

  9. gretahollar says

    October 21, 2019 at 3:35 pm

    I don’t. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt if you did but it mixes well with the cream cheese.

  10. Barbara says

    October 21, 2019 at 8:20 pm

    Is that a mini cupcake pan or regular size?

  11. gretahollar says

    October 21, 2019 at 10:42 pm

    Regular size!

  12. BILLIE says

    October 22, 2019 at 3:40 pm

    You call for 1# of sausage but just use half of it, you said it makes 12 . why not go ahead and double it if your having a good sized party.? I am sure if there are any left you can put them in a sealable bowl and micro wave the next day. I am one of these people who does not believe in westeing food.

  13. Deb says

    October 22, 2019 at 8:21 pm

    What is the yellow in the photo? cheese or the brushed on egg?

    thanks!

  14. gretahollar says

    October 22, 2019 at 8:53 pm

    You definitely could! I saved the other half for sausage and biscuits the next day.

  15. gretahollar says

    October 22, 2019 at 8:53 pm

    It’s the brushed on egg! Plus I let it cook to a golden brown.

  16. Greta Yonts says

    October 23, 2019 at 12:13 pm

    This are great, been making them for awhile, all my family and friends love them. I freeze leftovers, thaw and warm in little oven, just as good as the day you made them..

  17. gretahollar says

    October 23, 2019 at 4:14 pm

    I’m definitely going to freeze some of the next batch!

  18. Sally Corr says

    October 24, 2019 at 9:48 am

    There is no print available for this recipe!!!!

  19. Sandra says

    October 24, 2019 at 1:28 pm

    These sound really good, but just for clarification, there is more than one size of Post-it, so an actual measurement would have been great, and the size of the muffin tin used.

  20. gretahollar says

    October 24, 2019 at 8:00 pm

    3 x 3 post it. And the size of the muffin tin, I have no idea. It’s just a basic muffin tin that holds 12.

  21. Judy says

    October 25, 2019 at 7:33 pm

    If I made these ahead, can I freeze them. If so, must I bake them first?

  22. gretahollar says

    October 25, 2019 at 9:14 pm

    Others have said that they make them and freeze them ahead and they’re just as good!

  23. Diane Smothers says

    October 26, 2019 at 3:42 pm

    These look delicious!! Can’t wait to try the recipe for the holiday’s that are coming up!!

  24. Patti says

    October 27, 2019 at 2:26 pm

    Do you spray muffin pan?

  25. gretahollar says

    October 27, 2019 at 10:44 pm

    You can if you want, I didn’t!

  26. Linda says

    October 29, 2019 at 6:00 am

    I would like a little egg in with the mixture. Have you tried that?

  27. gretahollar says

    October 29, 2019 at 12:41 pm

    I haven’t but if you do let me know how it turns out!

  28. Mindy says

    October 30, 2019 at 4:02 pm

    Has anyone tried this with croissants?

  29. Sharon says

    November 1, 2019 at 8:11 pm

    Wonder what a refrigerated biscuit and italian sausage would do in that application like this?

  30. Linda says

    November 9, 2019 at 12:42 pm

    Do you think you could use crescent rolls instead

  31. Sarabeth says

    November 10, 2019 at 9:18 am

    We do 2 cans crescent rolls & 1 pound hot sausage. Thanks for new idea!! May try in mini muffin pan for bite size:)

  32. gretahollar says

    November 10, 2019 at 12:04 pm

    Absolutely!

  33. Brian Barnhart says

    November 11, 2019 at 5:18 pm

    I’m a bit confused about the cream cheese measurement. Do you mean a 1/2 cup by volume, or half of an 8 oz. brick of cream cheese?

  34. Donna Ross says

    November 12, 2019 at 4:26 pm

    You could brush the pastry with a little milk if you don’t want to use egg. The mini-tins make the perfect size bite, too!

  35. Marilyn says

    November 13, 2019 at 11:50 am

    I wonder if you could use wontons? I make crab rangoons in a mini muffin pan.

  36. Donna says

    November 13, 2019 at 3:01 pm

    This sounds amazing. I always use the same sausage. It has the perfect flavoring and My grandkids like hot in sausage balls. Think I’ll do half and half and add some red pepper flakes in theirs.

  37. John says

    November 17, 2019 at 5:05 pm

    I love you!!

  38. Anne says

    November 18, 2019 at 5:25 pm

    I make something similar but I use wonton wrappers and I add a package of dry ranch dressing mix . Going to try the puff pastry though to see how we like it

  39. Susie D says

    November 19, 2019 at 12:02 pm

    I add diced red and green pepper for Christmas decor.

  40. Barbara says

    December 11, 2019 at 3:30 pm

    I guess if I double recipe I will use all of cream cheese & all sausage & both sheets of puff pastry? Thanks. Definitely making this.
