Flaky Puff Pastry Snacks with Sausage and Cheese

• • Cut the puff pastry into rectangles or squares, depending on how large or small you want each snack.
  • Place a spoonful of the sausage and cheese mixture in the center of each rectangle or square.
  • Fold the pastry over the filling to create a pocket or roll it up into a log. Press the edges together gently to seal.
  • If you’re making pockets or turnovers, make sure the edges are sealed well to avoid the filling leaking out.
• Brush with Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush the tops of the puff pastry snacks with the egg wash. This will give them a golden, crispy finish when baked.
• Bake the Snacks: Place the prepared puff pastry snacks on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
• Cool and Serve: Let the snacks cool for a few minutes before serving. These puff pastry snacks are great on their own, or you can serve them with a dipping sauce like marinara, mustard, or ranch.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, you can add caramelized onions or sautéed spinach to the filling.
• You can make these ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.
• These snacks can also be frozen before baking; just bake directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
