Oyster-Sausage Bundles

Serves 8

"Prepare and freeze these before the busyness of Christmas Day
baking. They can go straight from freezer to oven."

1/2 pound ground spicy Italian sausage
1/3 cup minced onion
One 10-ounce container fresh Standard oysters, undrained
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
One 17 1/4-ounce package frozen puff pastry, thawed

Remove casings from sausage. Cook sausage and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat until sausage is browned and onion is tender, stirring
until sausage crumbles. Drain well; return mixture to skillet.
Drain oysters; cut larger oysters in half, if desired. (Reserve liquor for
another use, if desired.) Add oysters to sausage mixture, stirring gently.
Cook over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes or just until edges of oysters
curl; remove from heat and drain well. Let cool; stir in cheeses.
Unfold thawed sheets of pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each
sheet into 8 rectangles. Roll each rectangle to a 5-inch square. Place 2
tablespoons sausage mixture in center of each square. Bring edges of
each pastry square together to cover filling and form a bundle. Pinch
and twist edges to seal. Cover and freeze at least one hour or up to
a week.
Place frozen bundles on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400
degrees F for 20 to 22 minutes or until golden. Yield: 16 appetizers.
