  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Whisk together the softened cream cheese, mayo, salt, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until smooth. Fold in the cheddar and pimientos.
  3. Roll out the pie crust dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4×4 inch squares.
  4. Spread about 1tbsp of the cheese mixture in the center of each square. Place 2 Andouille sausage slices on top of the cheese filling. Fold the four corners of each square to meet in the middle, pressing together the edges.

  6. Bake until the crust is golden brown (20-25 minutes). Let cool slightly and serve warm.
