Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 400 grams 14 oz puff pastry
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 100 grams 3.5 oz boiled sausage, chopped
  • 100 grams 3.5 oz smoked sausage, chopped
  • 2 pickled cucumbers sliced

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into equal-sized squares or rectangles.
  3. Add the Filling: Spread a small amount of ketchup on each piece of pastry. Evenly distribute the chopped boiled and smoked sausages, followed by the sliced pickled cucumbers.
  4. Seal & Brush: Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges together with a fork to seal. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the puffs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown.
  6. Serve & Enjoy: Let the puffs cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm but can also be stored and reheated later.

Notes

  • For extra cheesiness, add grated cheddar or mozzarella to the filling.
  • For a spicier version, mix in some chili flakes or use spicy sausage.
  • To store leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for a few minutes.
  • Freezing Option: Assemble the puffs and freeze them before baking. Bake from frozen, adding an extra 5-7 minutes to the cooking time.
