Sausage Wrapped in Puff Pastry

We have all seen the smokies wrapped in crescent dough. Well if you like those you are going to LOVE these. These little bite size treats are so good. I used a sweet pineapple sausage with uncured bacon so I had the sweet flavor from the sausage and a crispy texture from the pastry. I did not serve this with a dipping sauce but if you use a spicy sausage you could certainly add a dipping sauce. Maybe a honey mustard sauce or a sweet and sour sauce. This recipe is so versatile,  you can make some sweet and some spicy any way you want it ! You are going to love this recipe!

INGREDIENTS
One sheet of puff Pastry
three sausages (your choice sweet or hot)
1 egg yolk
1 Tablespoon of water

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Open up the thawed puff pastry and slice into three pieces following the fold marks on the pastry. Taking one section at a time, roll the dough out on a clean work surface dusted with a slight bit of flour. Roll the dough out so it is long enough to wrap completely around the sausage. Before rolling the sausage in the pastry, mix the egg and water together and brush this along the edge of the pastry all the way around.  Now wrap the sausage completely in the pastry and put in the freezer for about ten minutes and continue with the following two pieces of pastry placing them in the freezer when they are wrapped. After ten minutes take the sausages out and slice them into about 1 inch slice and place each piece in a mini muffin tin with the cut side up. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden. Serve warm.

Enjoy,
