Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) ground sausage (mild, spicy, or breakfast sausage)
- 1/2 cup (120g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (60g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
1. Cook the Sausage
In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and let it cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
3. Prepare the Puff Pastry
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 6–8 squares, depending on your desired size.
4. Assemble the Pastries
Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the pastry over the filling, either into a triangle or roll it into a crescent shape. Seal the edges by pressing them together or crimping with a fork.
5. Add Egg Wash
Place the stuffed pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish.
6. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and flaky.
7. Garnish and Serve
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh touch. Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or party dish.
These Sausage-Stuffed Puff Pastries are the perfect blend of crispy, cheesy, and savory. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply craving a delicious snack, this recipe is a must-try. Enjoy!
