Ingredients:
6 sausages (your choice of type: pork, chicken, or vegetarian)
1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
Optional: mustard or ketchup (for dipping)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme), finely chopped (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the sausages: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the sausages. Cook them for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned but not fully cooked through. They will continue to cook inside the pastry. Set them aside to cool slightly.
Roll out the pastry: On a lightly floured surface, unroll your puff pastry sheet. If it’s too large, cut it into 6 equal strips to fit the sausages. Each strip should be long enough to fully wrap around one sausage.
Wrap the sausages: Take each sausage and carefully wrap it with a strip of puff pastry, pressing the edges gently to seal the seam. You can brush the pastry with a little water if needed to help seal it.
Egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Brush the top of each pastry-wrapped sausage with the egg wash to give it a beautiful golden color when baked.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the sausages are cooked through.
Serve: Once out of the oven, let them cool for a minute or two. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard, ketchup, or a creamy dip.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving Tips: These crispy sausages in puff pastry make a fantastic snack on their own or as an appetizer for a larger meal. Pair them with a side salad for a complete meal, or serve them alongside cold drinks for a party snack.
Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store the sausage pastries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place them back in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to crisp up the pastry again.
