SAUSAGE AND PARMESAN PUFFS

Category: Hot

1 (17 oz) pkg frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
1 egg
1 tbsp milk or cream
1 lb roll sausage, well chilled
6 tbsp parmesan cheese divided

Preheat oven to 400. Cut each dough sheet into 3 strips lengthwise. In a small bowl, beat egg and milk until well blended. Brush top of each dough strip with glaze and sprinkle with 1 tbsp cheese.

Divide the uncooked sausage into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a log the same length as the dough. Place sausage log in middle of each strip. Fold strips of the pastry up to enclose sausage and pinch together tightly. Brush tops with remaining glaze. Chill 15 minutes.

Place a sheet of brown paper bag on a baking sheet. Cut each pastry roll into 1 inch pieces and place on top of the brown paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until sausage is cooked and pastry is lightly browned. Makes approximately 4 dozen appetizers. Refrigerate leftovers.

NOTE: Can be prepared ahead, refrigerated or frozen, and baked or reheated prior to serving.
