Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 links smoked sausage links
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 12 pieces wooden skewers
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut the puff pastry sheets into 1-inch wide strips. You should get about 12 strips in total.
Slice each smoked sausage link into 3 equal portions, making a total of 12 pieces.
Take one sausage piece and wrap it in a strip of puff pastry, twisting the pastry around the sausage in a spiral shape. Secure the end with a pinch.
Insert a wooden skewer through the center of the sausage and pastry. Repeat for all sausage pieces.
Place the skewers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and use a pastry brush to lightly coat the puff pastry on each skewer.
Sprinkle the coated pastry with black sesame seeds for a spooky effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the skewers cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your 'Trick on a Stick'—a fun, crowd-pleasing snack with a frighteningly good flavor!
