Ingredients
Scale
- 400 g puff pastry
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 100 g boiled sausage, sliced
- 100 g smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 2 pickled cucumbers, sliced
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 150 g cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares or rectangles.
- Brush each piece with ketchup, then evenly layer the boiled sausage, smoked sausage, tomato slices, and pickled cucumbers.
- Drizzle a little mayonnaise over the toppings and sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Fold the pastry slightly over the toppings or leave it open like a mini pizza. Brush the edges with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
- Transfer to a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until puffed up and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy as a delicious snack, appetizer, or quick meal!
Notes
- Feel free to swap the sausages with ham, pepperoni, or even shredded chicken.
- For extra crispiness, bake the pastries on a preheated baking sheet.
- Add a sprinkle of dried oregano or paprika for extra flavor.
- These appetizers taste great with a side of garlic aioli, mustard, or a spicy dipping sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
