Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 250 grams Ground pork sausage
• 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Flour

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to ensure they are even and smooth. Cut each sheet into 12 equal squares, for a total of 24 squares.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small crumbles with a spoon. Drain any excess fat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Set aside.

Step 6

Place about one tablespoon of the sausage and cheese filling onto the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 7

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangular shape, or bring the corners together over the filling to create a pouch. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.

Step 8

Brush the tops of each pastry with the prepared egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 9

Place the filled pastries onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for even puffing during baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the piggy puffs cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
