🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 6 links sausages
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons optional sesame seeds (for topping)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Defrost the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions until pliable, but still cold.

3. Slice each sausage link into halves lengthwise. You will have 12 sausage pieces in total.

4. In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the surprise filling.

5. Unroll each puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 6 evenly-sized squares, giving you 12 squares in total.

6. Place a sausage half on one corner of a puff pastry square. Add about 1 tablespoon of the cheese-mustard mixture on top of the sausage.

7. Fold the opposite corner of the puff pastry square over the sausage, forming a triangle. Pinch the edges together firmly to seal, then crimp with a fork for extra security.

8. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

9. Place the sealed bundles onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash for a golden finish. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added crunch.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and fully cooked.

11. Allow the sausage bundles to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or with a side salad for a satisfying meal.
