These look like Sausage-Stuffed Puff Pastries, a delicious and flaky appetizer! Here’s a recipe to replicate this savory treat:
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.
