Ingredients: •1 lb (450g) ground sausage (mild, spicy, or breakfast sausage) •1/2 cup (120g) cream cheese, softened •1/2 cup (60g) shredded cheddar cheese •1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry, thawed •1 egg, beaten (for egg wash) •Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish Instructions: 1.Cook the Sausage: •In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and let it cool slightly. 2.Prepare the Filling: •In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined. 3.Prepare the Puff Pastry: •Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). •Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 6–8 squares, depending on your desired size. 4.Assemble the Pastries: •Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture in the center of each puff pastry square. •Fold the pastry over the filling, either into a triangle or roll it into a crescent shape. Seal the edges by pressing them together or crimping with a fork. 5.Add Egg Wash: •Place the stuffed pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. •Brush the tops with beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish. 6.Bake: •Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and flaky. 7.Garnish and Serve: •Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh touch. •Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or party dish.
