Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 8 links Sausage links
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Defrost the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out each puff pastry sheet to smooth it out and stretch it slightly.

Step 3

Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until they are browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove them from heat and let them cool slightly.

Step 4

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 equal-sized squares.

Step 5

Place a cooked sausage link at one corner of a pastry square. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cheddar cheese over the sausage.

Step 6

Season the exposed pastry with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 7

Roll the pastry from the sausage end to the opposite corner, forming a croissant shape. Pinch the edges to seal them and place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Repeat the process for the remaining pastry squares and sausage links.

Step 9

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.

Step 10

Brush the top of each croissant with the egg wash using a pastry brush.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the croissants are puffed and a golden brown color.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the sausage croissants cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious sausage croissants.
