- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese
Egg Wash
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly spray a 12-count muffin tin with nonstick spray.
2. Using a pizza cutter, cut one roll of phyllo dough into 6 pieces. (the packaged phyllo dough comes with two rolls of 9”x14” phyllo dough sheets. You will use one of these rolls. There are approximately 18 pieces of phyllo doughi n one roll)
3. Divide the 6 pieces of phyllo dough into two roughly equal pieces. You should now have 12 pieces of phyllo dough. Place the phyllo dough into the 12-count muffin tin.
4. Gently brush the phyllo dough with egg wash.
5. In a medium sized skillet, add the sausage and cook over medium heat, breaking apart as it cooks, until browned and cooked through. Add cream cheese and cheddar cheese and cook over medium-low heat until combined and cheese is melted. Stir in the hot pepper flakes, if desired.
6. Evenly divide the sausage into the phyllo cups.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Enjoy!
