Ingredients
- 1 pound maple sausage, casings removed
- 1 package (1 sheet) puff pastry, thawed
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the maple sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat, then stir in shredded cheese and parsley if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into squares, about 3×3 inches each.
- Stuff the Pastry: Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold the corners over to enclose the filling and pinch to seal.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pastry bites with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake: Place the stuffed pastry bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm!
