  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 pastries 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage Filling

  • 1 lb ground sausage (pork, chicken, or blend)
  • 2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Pastry and Finishing

  • 1 package puff pastry sheets (thawed according to package instructions)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: Slice the onions thinly and sauté them slowly in butter over low heat until they become deeply golden and sweet. This slow cooking process unlocks the rich flavor that defines these pastries.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a separate pan, brown the ground sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, then combine with the caramelized onions and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Thaw the puff pastry sheets as per the package instructions. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into evenly sized squares appropriate for wrapping the filling.
  4. Assemble the Pastries: Place a generous spoonful of the sausage and onion mixture onto each pastry square. Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling and press the edges firmly to seal using a fork or your fingers.
  5. Apply Egg Wash and Bake: Beat the egg with a splash of water to make the egg wash. Brush this over each assembled pastry for a shiny, golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and beautifully browned.

Notes

  • Take your time caramelizing onions to develop the richest flavor.
  • Use just enough filling to avoid leakage during baking.
  • Keep puff pastry chilled until ready to bake for maximum flakiness.
  • Cut uniform-sized pastry squares for consistent baking and presentation.
  • Let pastries cool slightly after baking for easier handling and better flavor.
