Cheesy Sausage Bites

And now for something a little different.  Living in the UK for so long, one of my favorite midweek treats was to head over to Greggs (a specialist bakery chain) for a sausage roll.  I mean, let’s face it – I like anything to do with sausage, and I’ll nearly always choose a savory treat over a sweet one.

I never really gave much thought into what went in to making these yummy snacks, but in a fit of pregnancy-induced craving, I decided to use what I had on hand to create a sausage roll-inspired snack for myself. The result was yummy and easy and FAST.

Raw Sausage Bites

The finished cups are fabulously tasty and will freeze fairly easily. Simply store in a freezer safe bag or some tupperware. You can reheat them via microwave or just warm in the oven.
