Italian sausage, garlic, fresh herbs, parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs makes up these tasty little bites!
I like to serve these as appetizers for guests or during the holidays. I highly recommend buying high quality sausage, it makes such an enormous difference in flavor. You can go to the butcher department at the grocery store and buy it right from the counter. Fresh and delicious. Just look at these yummies!
Let’s get started!
