Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 pound Ground sausage
- 1 medium (diced) Onion
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 large (beaten, for egg wash) Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
Add the ground sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage mixture, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one puff pastry sheet to ensure it is smooth and flat. Spoon half of the sausage mixture lengthwise down the center of the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
Fold the sides of the pastry over the filling, then pinch the edges together to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the second puff pastry sheet and the remaining sausage mixture.
Brush the top and sides of each filled pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden, shiny crust.
Using a sharp knife, make small diagonal slits on the top of each pastry for venting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the croustades to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
