1 package puff pastry (1 pound)
1 pound thin hot-dog-like
sausage or hot dogs
8 ounces Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

strips, crosswise, making 9
equal squares. Repeat with

Mix well.

Grease muffin tin with cooking
spray. Place each puff pastry
square into each muffin cup,
gently pressing center of square

sticking out a bit. If you have any
muffin tin cups left unused, fill
them halfway with warm water.
This will allow even baking.

Fill cups with sausage and
cheese filling evenly. Bake in
preheated oven at 400 degrees
F 10 to 12 minutes, or until
puffed and golden.

Serve hot.
