Need a quick and irresistible savory treat? These Cheesy Sausage Puff Pastry Pockets are your new go-to! They’re buttery, flaky, and filled with melty cheddar and flavorful sausage – ideal for brunch spreads, party platters, or even just a cozy movie night snack. Bonus: they’re super easy to make with just a handful of ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
2. Cut the Puff Pastry
Roll out your thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
Cut into equal rectangles — about 8 pieces works well.
3. Add the Filling
On one half of each rectangle, spoon a bit of the cooked sausage and top with shredded cheddar. Be generous, but not so much that it bursts!
4. Fold and Seal
Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket.
Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges tight. This keeps the cheesy goodness locked in.
5. Brush and Season
Brush each pastry with the beaten egg for that perfect golden shine.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper on top if you want a little extra kick.
6. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and deeply golden.
Serve warm and enjoy that melty center!
Serving Ideas:
- Perfect for brunch tables or game day snacks
- Pair with a side of mustard or marinara for dipping
- Freeze before baking and pop them into the oven for a quick fix later!
So simple, so good.
One bite and you’ll fall for that buttery, flaky pastry hugging a warm, cheesy-sausage center. Whether you’re serving a crowd or just yourself, these puff pastry bites are a cheesy little dream!
