These Savory Sausage Stars are a fun and delicious way to add a festive touch to your summer cookout or 4th of July party. With golden, buttery puff pastry filled with caramelized onion, flavorful sausage, and melty parmesan, they’re easy to make and even easier to enjoy. Serve them warm as an appetizer or snack – they’ll disappear fast at any backyard BBQ or patriotic gathering!

    Savory Sausage Stars

    Ingredients:

    • 1 box of puff pastry
    • 1 lb ground sausage
    • 1 medium sweet onion
    • 1 TBS olive oil
    • 1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
    • Star cookie cutter

    Directions:

    1. Dice onion and saute over medium/low heat for about 30 minutes to carmelize the onion (If you are short on time, you can cook over higher heat for a shorter amount of time).
    2. Add sausage to the same skillet with onion and brown until cooked through.
    3. Thaw puff pastry dough according to package instructions. Use cookie cutter to cut out stars- I made 16 medium size stars with two sheets of parchment paper. (I used a small cookie cutter to make small stars with the extra dough)
    4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat over to 400 degrees. Place small amount of sausage and onion on top of one star. Sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese. Top with another star, and use a fork to crimp edges together.
    5. Bake on 400 for about 12 minutes.
    6. Enjoy!
