I knew I had some precooked italian sausage in the fridge and some totellini in the pantry. So I pulled them out and added a few other ingredients and ended up with what my husband called "the BEST thing he has ever eaten."
To lower the sodium in this cheesy, make-ahead breakfast dish, use ground turkey instead of breakfast sausage and add an herb such as thyme or oregano.
These bite-size quiches are loaded with sausage and cheese, plus their crescent roll bases make preparation a snap. Serve these cute "muffinettes" at any brunch or potluck gathering. —Jan Mead, Milford, Connecticut
Prepare polenta through step 2 up to two days ahead. Before serving, let the dish stand at room temperature one hour, cut polenta into triangles, and toast them at mealtime. Pork sausage gives them a wonderfully familiar, stuffing-like flavoring.

A quick sauce made with ripe summer tomatoes and fresh herbs does double duty: It's in the savory filling and spooned over the golden-brown crust once baked. If freezing some of the calzones, you can either freeze the remaining sauce in a small zip-top plastic freezer bag, thaw in the microwave, and reheat or serve with your favorite lower-sodium marinara (we recommend Dell'Amore).
