Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets
- 4 links vegetarian sausage
- 0.5 cup onion
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the vegetarian sausage links (pre-cooked and chopped) to the skillet. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper and black pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut into triangles or desired shapes for croissants.
Place a tablespoon of the sausage mixture at the wider end of each triangle.
Roll from the wide end to the tip of the triangle to form a crescent shape. Tuck the ends under slightly to secure.
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
Brush the top of each croissant with the egg wash to achieve a golden-brown finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the croissants are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
