Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 pound ground sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Sausage Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned, breaking it into small pieces. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2: Roll Out the Puff Pastry
Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out slightly to smooth the creases. Cut the sheet into 2-inch squares, aiming for uniformity to ensure even baking.
Step 3: Assemble the Mini Pies
Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the corners over the filling and press gently to seal. Place each pie seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Apply the Egg Wash
Brush each mini pie with the beaten egg. This will give the pies a beautiful golden sheen. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired for added color.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the pies for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
