Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 deg. Line a sided baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the mini phyllo shells on the baking sheet.

In a large bowl, combine the sausage, baking mix and cheese. Roll the mixture into 1/2 to 1" balls and place in phyllo shells. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the balls are lightly browned and cooked through. To make a dipping sauce, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon.

Serve hot or warm with the sauce.
