Description

Delicious sausage wrapped in flaky pastry, perfect for cozy breakfasts and family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 breakfast sausages (pork, chicken, turkey, or plant-based)
  • 1 package puff pastry (or crescent roll dough, biscuit dough)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, garlic powder)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick and cut into 4-inch rectangles.
  3. If using raw sausages, cook them in a skillet until browned and fully cooked.
  4. Place a cooked sausage at one end of each dough rectangle and roll it up, tucking in the ends.
  5. Brush the tops with egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water).
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving with dipping sauces.

Notes

For a healthier option, use turkey or chicken sausage. You can also freeze these before baking for later use.
