Sausage Mushroom Puffs are a delightful appetizer or snack that’s perfect for parties or gatherings. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 8 oz breakfast sausage (pork or turkey), casings removed
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into smaller pieces with a spatula. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped mushrooms and onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their moisture and the onions are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, mushroom mixture, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×10 inches. Cut the puff pastry sheet into 2-inch squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Place a spoonful of the sausage and mushroom mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
- Fold the corners of each puff pastry square over the filling, forming a little pouch or pocket. Press the edges together to seal, forming a ball shape.
- Place the filled puff pastry balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the puff pastry balls with beaten egg to create a golden brown finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the Sausage Mushroom Puffs warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.
