Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 250 grams Ground pork sausage
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to ensure they are even and smooth. Cut each sheet into 12 equal squares, for a total of 24 squares.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small crumbles with a spoon. Drain any excess fat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Set aside.
Place about one tablespoon of the sausage and cheese filling onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangular shape, or bring the corners together over the filling to create a pouch. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Brush the tops of each pastry with the prepared egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.
Place the filled pastries onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for even puffing during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the piggy puffs cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
