- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. If the puff pastry is frozen, let it thaw for about 15 minutes before unrolling it.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked sausages, shredded cheese, and fresh herbs (if using). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add mustard if you like a bit of tangy flavor.
- Assemble the Snacks:
-
-
- Cut the puff pastry into rectangles or squares, depending on how large or small you want each snack.
- Place a spoonful of the sausage and cheese mixture in the center of each rectangle or square.
- Fold the pastry over the filling to create a pocket or roll it up into a log. Press the edges together gently to seal.
- If you’re making pockets or turnovers, make sure the edges are sealed well to avoid the filling leaking out.
- Brush with Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush the tops of the puff pastry snacks with the egg wash. This will give them a golden, crispy finish when baked.
- Bake the Snacks: Place the prepared puff pastry snacks on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Cool and Serve: Let the snacks cool for a few minutes before serving. These puff pastry snacks are great on their own, or you can serve them with a dipping sauce like marinara, mustard, or ranch.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add caramelized onions or sautéed spinach to the filling.
- You can make these ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.
- These snacks can also be frozen before baking; just bake directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
Enjoy your flaky, cheesy, and savory sausage puff pastry snacks!
