Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 6 links Sausages
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour, then roll out the puff pastry sheets to a slightly thinner, even layer.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 6 equal squares (for a total of 12 squares).
Slice each sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You may need to trim the ends for uniformity.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Place one square of puff pastry on your work surface and brush the edges lightly with the egg wash.
Arrange 5 sausage rounds in a circular pattern on the puff pastry square, overlapping slightly to create a flower petal effect. Leave a small gap in the center of the circle.
Place 1 teaspoon of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of the flower, filling the gap.
Carefully fold any excess pastry edges inward just slightly, to prevent unraveling during baking.
Transfer each assembled flower to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the puff pastry with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Sausage Flowers!
