Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove puff pastry from the freezer and allow to that for about 15 minutes, or until you can unfold it without breaking it. However, don't let it get too warm.
Meanwhile, mix the cooked sausage with the softened cream cheese, set aside.
Unfold the puff pastry, roll it out to approximately 12 x 14 inches. Cut into approximately 3.5 inch squares.
Press each square into a muffin tin. In a small bowl, whip the egg with a fork to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the puff pastry, especially the edges.
Evenly divide the sausage cream cheese mixture between the puff pastry squares.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until puff pastry is golden brown. Serve immediately.
