Ingredients
To whip up these scrumptious Sausage Croissants, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 package of puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 1 pound of sausage (you can use spicy or mild according to your preference)
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works wonderfully)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley, optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Sausage Croissants:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat and let it cool slightly.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut the sheets into triangles (about 4 inches at the base).
- Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture at the wide end of each triangle, followed by a sprinkle of cheese and any fresh herbs you desire.
- Roll the pastry from the wide end toward the tip of the triangle, tucking in the sides as you go to seal in the filling. Place the rolled croissants seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
