Sausage and Mustard Puff Pastries

45 min 12 pastries Easy
Sausage and mustard puff pastries are a classic appetizer that combines savoury sausage with the tangy kick of mustard, all wrapped up in a flaky puff pastry. These bites are perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a party or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home. The combination of ingredients creates a delightful contrast of textures and flavours. The crisp, buttery layers of the pastry balance beautifully with the hearty sausage filling, making each bite a satisfying experience.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pro tip: A properly preheated oven ensures even cooking.

2

Prepare the sausage filling

In a bowl, mix the sausage meat with the Dijon mustard until well combined.

Pro tip: For a finer texture, run the sausage meat through a food processor.

3

Roll out the puff pastry

Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm (1/8 inch) thick.

Pro tip: Keep the pastry cold to make it easier to handle.

4

Cut and fill the pastry

Cut the pastry into 12 equal rectangles. Place a spoonful of sausage filling onto one half of each rectangle, leaving space to seal the edges.

Pro tip: Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.

5

Seal the pastries

Brush the edges of each rectangle with beaten egg, fold over, and press to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.

Pro tip: Ensure a tight seal to prevent filling from leaking.

6

Apply egg wash and bake

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with egg wash, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Pro tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.

7

Cool slightly before serving

Allow the pastries to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Pro tip: Cooling slightly helps the pastry crisp up further.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a feuilleté à la saucisse?

It's a puff pastry filled with sausage meat and sometimes mustard, baked until flaky and golden.

Can I use different sausages?

Yes, you can use any type of sausage meat such as pork, chicken, or turkey.

Do I need to cook the sausage before filling?

No, the sausage cooks fully in the oven while the pastry bakes.

How do I prevent the pastry from becoming soggy?

Ensure the sausage filling is not too wet and bake the pastries at a high temperature.

Can I prepare these pastries in advance?

Yes, you can prepare them up to the baking step and freeze them for later use.

Serving Suggestions

These puff pastries are best served warm, straight from the oven, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature. Pair them with a crisp green salad for a light meal or serve them alongside a selection of cheeses and charcuterie for a more substantial spread. To make ahead, prepare the pastries up to the baking step and freeze them. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few minutes to the baking time. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating them briefly in the oven to restore their crispiness.
