Yield 24 bites, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
6 ounces spicy Italian turkey sausage or 6 ounces spicy Italian pork sausage
1 head garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 pinch red chili pepper flakes
splash olive oil
24 wonton wrappers
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375. Cut the top off the head of garlic and place it on a baking sheet covered with foil and pour olive oil over it. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown and cloves are soft & mushy. (this can also be done in the toaster oven :O)
  • Cut the raw sausage open and throw away the sausage casing, brown the sausage in a skillet until completely cooked.
  • Chop 1-2 cloves raw garlic, about 1 1/2 teaspoons.
  • In a large bowl combine cooked sausage, cream cheese, roasted garlic, raw garlic a pinch of red chili flakes, and seasoning- I just shook in a bit of the garlic powder, garlic salt, & pepper (probably around 1/4 tsp each, maybe a bit more) and mix with a hand held electric mixer until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Spray a mini-muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Add a won-ton wrapper one cup of the muffin tray and fill with about 1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp of the garlic cheese mix. Pinch the won ton wrapper together to seal, then spray with non-stick cooking spray, repeat until the whole tin is full of lil' garlic bites!
  • Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes or until they are golden brown and gorgeous!
  • The tops will open up a bit- but I thought they were reminiscent of little garlic cloves and was happy with how they came out.
