MINI ESSENTIALS: AWESOME SAUSAGE BITES

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• Chef's Note: Not all breakfast sausages are created equal. Some contain more fat than pork. To test out your breakfast sausage, cook up one patty in a skillet. If it winds up swimming in a sea of grease, you need another brand. Better yet, why not make your own. Here is a recipe for you: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/breakfast/meat-breakfast/early-morning-eats-homemade-breakfast-sausage.html?r=1
• Add the sausage to a skillet over medium-low heat, and allow to slowly cook until any excess fat renders.
• Remove from the pan, and drain on paper towels, and allow to cool.
• Chef's Note: Don't completely cook the sausage, just lightly cook it to render some of the fat.
• Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
• Thaw out the puff pastry, and lay on a clean, lightly floured surface, and cut in half.
• Combine the sausage with the dried spices, and the cheese.
• Chef's Note: I choose Colby cheese because it holds up to the baking process, and has a nice mild flavor that does not overpower the sausage.
• Place the sausage mixture on one side of the puff pastry.
• Roll the log together, until it slightly overlaps, and use some of the egg wash to seal the seam.
• Chef's Note: You only want it to slightly overlap. If you have any extra, just cut it off.
• Place seam-side down, and brush with the egg wash.
• Cut into thick pieces, and then put the sausage bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, fitted with a wire rack.
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until golden brown, about 15 - 18 minutes.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Serve while still nice and warm, and watch them disappear. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
