Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to slightly enlarge them. Cut each sheet into 12 equal squares, yielding 24 squares in total.
Grease a mini muffin tin and press one puff pastry square into each cup, ensuring the corners of the pastry stick out slightly.
Fill each pastry cup with a spoonful of the sausage mixture, packing it lightly to ensure the cup is full but not overflowing.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the exposed edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the croustades cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving platter.
Serve warm and enjoy these savory, flaky Sausage Croustades!
