- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions

- Wrinkle a piece of parchment paper and place on top of the puff pastry.
- Add in any dried beans you have on hand. Bake for 15 minutes.
- While the pastry is baking, start browning the sausage in a pan.
- As the sausage is cooking, in a bowl add the eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Combine well with an immersion blender or whisk.

- Remove the pastry from the oven.
- Line the bottom of the pastry with 1/2 of the shredded cheese.
- Spread out the sausage mixture evenly over the cheese.
- Pour in the egg custard.
