Maple Sausage Stuffed Pastry Bites – Made with cream cheese and spinach, maple sausage stuffed pastry bites are the ultimate appetizer and finger food idea for your holiday party.
Much like my favorite leftover turkey stuffing crescent roll appetizers, sausage cheese meatballs and leftover ham crescent rolls, these bite-sized appetizers take about 30 minutes to make, and they’re so delicious, it’s hard to stop at just one.
Whether you’re gearing up for a holiday party or just making a few treats for family and friends, finger foods are definitely a given.
I used to love it when I’d hear that term… Finger Foods. It usually went along with one of my other favorite terms growing up… Church Potluck. Both meant all sorts of good things to eat and an enjoyable time with friends, as well.
Maple sausage has been my absolute favorite kind of sausage for a really long time, mainly because of the flavor it gives to anything I choose to make with it.
Just ask my family. Breakfast Bake is one of my favorite things to make, along with delicious Biscuits and Sausage Gravy; Sausage Biscuit Sandwiches; Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwiches; and so much more.
Breakfast isn’t the only way to use maple sausage, though. Think appetizers, soups and stews, snacks, kid-friendly dinner ideas, and meat pies… With premium quality ingredients and delicious taste in every roll of down-home fresh pork sausage, it’s a definite go-to ingredient for all sorts of recipes and meal ideas.
For now, let’s make a super easy appetizer you can whip up in no time. All you need are a few delicious ingredients.
