Sausage-Stuffed Puff Pastry Recipe

Instructions:

1. Cook the Sausage:

   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly.

2. Make the Filling:

   • In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth and well blended.

3. Prepare the Pastry:

   • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

   • On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet and cut into 6–8 squares (adjust size as desired).

4. Assemble the Pastries:

   • Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square.

   • Fold into triangles or crescents, sealing edges by pressing with a fork or fingers.

5. Bake to Perfection:

   • Arrange pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

   • Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.

   • Bake for 15–20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

6. Serve & Enjoy:

   • Garnish with herbs if desired. Serve warm for the best flavor!

Tips:

• For extra flavor, add ½ tsp garlic powder or diced jalapeños to the filling.

• Freeze unbaked pastries and bake straight from frozen (add 3–5 extra minutes).
