Hot Sausage Puffs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lay the puff pastry sheets out on a flat work surface. Split the sausage casings lengthwise and turn the mild sausage meat out onto 1 pastry sheet and the hot sausage meat out onto the other pastry sheet. Gently pat the meat out to fit the pastry sheets, being careful to leave a 1/2-inch strip bare on both long sides of each sheet. Top with 3 tablespoons of Romano and 5 basil leaves per sheet. Starting with 1 of the bare strips, roll the pastry tightly around the filling. The bare strip on the far end will stick to itself.
• Place the rolls in the freezer for at least 1 hour; they should be just frozen enough to make slicing easy. (The recipe can be made to this point 1 week in advance.) Slice the rolls into 1/2-inch pieces, place on baking sheets and place in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack in center position.
• Roll out puff pastry to 12-inch square. Brush maple syrup over entire surface.
• Cut dough into thirds in each direction and then cut each square in half diagonally, ending with 18 triangles. Place a breakfast sausage link on the lower third of each triangle and roll up, making sure to place each tip-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Whisk egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl until lightly beaten. Brush each puff with egg wash and bake for 16 to 18 minutes until golden brown.

Steps:

• Cook sausage, breaking up with a fork, until no longer pink.
• Drain and cool completely.
• Combine the cheese, sausage, baking mix and water.
• Mix with fork just until blended.
• Roll into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes 100 puffs.
