Robin's Creamy, Cheesy Sausage Puffs instructions
- Sausage filling can be made in advance and refrigerated. I refrigerate mine before using..
- Cook the sausage, drain the grease and place in a mixing bowl..
- Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Mix with a spoon until everything is fully incorporated. Set aside or refrigerate..
- For the puff pastry, cube the butter. Add the flour (salt if needed) and cubed butter to a bowl. Place the bowl into the refrigerator to make everything cold..
- Once cold, remove the bowl and cut the butter with a knife while making sure the flour coats the butter..
- Dump the mixture out onto a work surface, create a well in the center and add a few tablespoons of water. Mix with your fingers..
- Continue to mix and add a tablespoon of ice cold water at a time until the mixture holds together..
- Form the dough into a square, wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for about 20 minutes..
- Roll the dough into a long rectangle (about 15"x 8"). Fold into thirds - the top down and the bottom up. Turn the dough half way, roll into another rectangle and fold again..
- You can wrap and refrigerate after each turn if needed. Continue rolling, folding and turning the dough 6 times. Leave in refrigerator until chilled..
- Roll the dough to desired thickness. I make mine pretty thin. Cut into squares about 3"x 3" or 4"x 4" if you want them bigger..
- Add about a tablespoon or more to each square. Fold the corners up and over to create a pocket..
- Turn over and place on a parchment lined baking sheet..
- Once all pouches are on the sheet, whisk egg and brush the egg onto each pouch..
- Place the sheet into a preheated 400°F oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown..
