Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 400g spicy breakfast sausage (or your favorite sausage)
Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
Egg Wash
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme or sage (optional)
Serving
- Mustard or ketchup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Sausages: Divide the 400g spicy breakfast sausage into 8 equal portions, shaping each into small sausages or patties for even cooking and portion control.
- Cut Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet and cut it into 8 rectangles sized to wrap each sausage comfortably.
- Assemble: Place each sausage portion onto a pastry rectangle. If desired, sprinkle 1/2 tsp dried thyme or sage over each sausage for added flavor.
- Wrap and Seal: Wrap the puff pastry around each sausage, sealing the edges carefully with a little beaten egg to ensure they stay closed during baking.
- Arrange on Tray: Place the wrapped sausages seam side down on the prepared baking tray with space between them for even heat circulation.
- Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pastry-wrapped sausages with the beaten egg to achieve a golden, shiny finish when baked.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through, and the sausages are fully cooked inside.
- Serve: Serve the sausage griddlers warm, accompanied by mustard or ketchup if desired for dipping.

- You can swap spicy breakfast sausage for any favorite sausage flavor.
- Optional herbs like thyme or sage add a subtle aromatic touch.
- Ensure puff pastry is properly thawed for easier handling and better texture.
- Use an egg wash to give the pastry a beautiful golden color and glossy appearance.
