Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Brush each piece with ketchup, then evenly layer the boiled sausage, smoked sausage, tomato slices, and pickled cucumbers.
  3. Drizzle a little mayonnaise over the toppings and sprinkle with grated cheese.
  4. 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.
  5. Transfer to a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until puffed up and golden brown.
  6. 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.
