Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound Johnsonville® Hot Italian Sausage, casings removed

I think they would freeze fine.

MinniesMum - when you remove the casings from the sausage it crumbles like ground beef.  If you were to use a sausage that didn't do that...you'd just dice it up small.

Would ordinary pork sausages work okay in this recipe? Also I presume one has to dice up the sausages.

I haven't tried it yet. I want to make it for Easter, can you please tell me if you can prepare it ahead of time and freeze it?

This sounds great. I'm going to make this weekend - but I will use the sheets of crescent roll dough. No perfs to seal. Instead of Swiss cheese, why not provolone? Goes great with Italian sausage.

I've got some unused wonton squares in the freezer - I'm going to try this using those instead of the crescent rolls. I love little mini-quiches so this should become another favorite!

These are so cute and easy... I had a mild Italian sausage so I minced up some giardiniera vegi along with the sausage and they were great... Next time I think I will try breakfast sausage and add a little chopped green chili.. I was able to get 32 ea.

This is a wonderful and easy recipe, but there was no way I could get 48 rounds cut from one tube of crescent rolls. I only got 24 rounds. So, a note for this recipe, unless you roll the dough paper thin, you need to get 2- 8oz tubes of crescent rolls.
