For ease you may use purchased miniature frozen tart shells, spicy Italian sausage works the best for this, if using mild sausage I recommend to add in the cayenne pepper - these are very good! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened (can use margarine) |
2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
6 ounces bulk italian sausage (such as jimmy dean's, use mild or spicy) |
1 pinch cayenne pepper (use only if using milk sausage) |
1/2-3/4 cup finely shredded swiss cheese (or as needed) |
1 large green onion, minced (or use 2 tablespoons minced chives) |
2 eggs |
1 cup half-and-half cream |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (or as needed) |
Directions:
1. Lightly grease 36 miniature muffin tins.
2. In a bowl beat butter with cream cheese and flour until smooth.
3. Shape tablespoons of dough into balls.
4. Press 1 ball into the bottom and up the sides of each greased muffin cup.
5. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the tins until ready to fill.
6. In a skillet cook the sausage meat until no longer pink; drain fat and cool slightly.
7. Divide the sausage meat into each prepared dough/muffin tin.
8. Sprinkle a small amount of Swiss cheese over the top of the sausage meat then some green onions over the cheese.
9. In a bowl whisk the eggs with cream and black pepper.
10. Pour the egg mixture into each shell then sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
