Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 8 links Sausage links
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Defrost the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out each puff pastry sheet to smooth it out and stretch it slightly.
Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until they are browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove them from heat and let them cool slightly.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal-sized squares.
Place a cooked sausage link at one corner of a pastry square. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cheddar cheese over the sausage.
Season the exposed pastry with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper.
Roll the pastry from the sausage end to the opposite corner, forming a croissant shape. Pinch the edges to seal them and place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process for the remaining pastry squares and sausage links.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.
Brush the top of each croissant with the egg wash using a pastry brush.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the croissants are puffed and a golden brown color.
Remove from the oven and let the sausage croissants cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious sausage croissants.
