Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Mixture
- 400g spicy breakfast sausage (or your favorite sausage)
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme or sage (optional)
Pastry and Finish
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash and sealing)
- Mustard or ketchup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare the sausage: Divide the 400g of spicy breakfast sausage into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into small sausage links or patties depending on your preference.
- Cut the pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 8 rectangles, each large enough to fully encase one sausage portion.
- Assemble the griddlers: Place each sausage onto a pastry rectangle. Sprinkle thyme or sage over the sausage if you choose to use these herbs for added flavor.
- Wrap and seal: Wrap the pastry around each sausage, folding the edges over and pressing gently to seal. Use a little beaten egg along the edges to help the pastry adhere and prevent openings during baking.
- Prepare for baking: Arrange the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking tray to keep them sealed.
- Add egg wash: Brush the tops of each wrapped sausage with the beaten egg. This step creates a shiny, golden-brown finish on the puff pastry once baked.
- Bake: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up, golden brown, and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the sausage griddlers warm accompanied by mustard or ketchup if desired for dipping.
Notes
- You can use any type of sausage you prefer, including mild, spicy, or vegetarian options (adjust cooking time if needed).
- Thyme and sage are optional but add a lovely herbal aroma and flavor.
- Be sure to seal the pastry edges well with egg wash to prevent leakage during baking.
- For a crispier pastry, avoid overcrowding the baking tray so air can circulate evenly.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
