Sausage Phyllo Rollups step by step

1. Crunchy, flaky layers of phyllo wrapped around flavorful sausage..
2. Start by heating up the oil over medium/high heat in a medium sized skillet..
3. Smash and peel the garlic cloves and toss them into the hot oil. Sauté for 3 mins. or until lightly browned..
4. Remove the garlic and discard. Now sauté the onion for 2 minutes..
5. Reduce the heat to medium and add the sausage. Cook until no longer pink (about 3 minutes). Be sure to break up the sausage into smaller pieces..
6. Remove from heat. Drain excess grease..
7. Preheat oven to 375° F..
8. Prepare 8 layers of buttered phyllo dough. If you are new to phyllo, I will walk you through it: You can find phyllo in the frozen section of your grocery store. Follow the package directions for thawing. Melt butter in small sauce pan. Prepare a non-stick work surface (parchment will do). After rolling the phyllo out of its package cover the stack with a slightly damp towel to prevent drying out. Carefully peel a layer from the phyllo stack and lay it on the parchment (return the towel to the stack). Brush on melted butter liberally, covering the entire sheet. Lay a phyllo sheet on top of the buttered one and brush on more butter. Repeat until the phyllo is 8 layers deep..
9. Cut the prepared phyllo in half with a pizza cutter, creating two large phyllo squares..
10. In a medium sized bowl mix the cream cheese, dill and white pepper. Add the sausage and mix together..
11. Spoon sausage/cream cheese mixture onto the phyllo squares, leaving an inch clear of the mixture top and bottom and 3 inches on either side..
12. Fold top and bottom of the phyllo over the meat mixture about an inch. Next, roll the phyllo into a long tube. The roll should look like a burrito. Repeat for the other phyllo roll..
13. Place the sausage phyllo rollups on a greased cookie sheet, seam side down. Brush on more butter..
