These sausage, cheese and onion puffs are one of the most delicious things you can make with a sheet of puff pastry!
Think of these as jazzed-up Sausage Rolls. They’re actually incredibly easy to make and only require 5 ingredients! Follow me…
What you’ll need
- Puff Pastry – I typically use pre-rolled because it makes the perfect sized puffs. You could use a block and roll it out though if you’d prefer.
- Caramelised Onion Chutney – Goes gorgeously with sausage and adds a nice sticky sweetness. You’ll find this in most supermarkets.
- Cheese – I typically use Red Leicester, but Cheddar works just as well.
- Sausage – Here I’ve use ground sausage meat, but you could squeeze the meat out of some sausages if you’d prefer.
- Egg – This is beaten for egg wash.
Recipe Tip
You can prep these ahead of time, just leave off the egg wash until needed, then tightly store in the fridge until ready to bake. You can also freeze them, just thaw in the fridge then bake as needed.
How to make sausage puffs
You might remember the viral folding wrap trend, similar to what I did with my Tortilla Wrap Pizza. Well, we’re essentially doing that trend but with puff pastry.
If you’ve got no idea what I’m talking about, we’re just going to add the fillings to a square of puff pastry and fold it over so everything is neatly stacked. That way you get they tasty layers jammed in between layers of puffed of pastry.
Process shots: slice the pastry into squares (photo 1), make a slice in each square (photo 2), add the fillings in 3 of the segments (photo 3), fold the empty side up then fold over twice more (photo 4), brush with egg wash then bake (photo 5).
You’ll want to bake them until they’re deep golden, crisp and nicely puffed up. You might notice them unfold slightly, which is fine. To prevent this from happening, I like to pinch the top two layers together.
These are so perfect for gatherings, parties and all kinds of other festivities!
Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for these sausage, cheese and onion puffs shall we?!
How to make Sausage, Cheese & Onion Puffs (Full Recipe & Video)
Sausage, Cheese & Onion Puffs
Equipment
- Sharp Knife & Chopping Board
- Cheese Grater
- Large Baking Tray
- Small Bowl & Brush (for egg wash)
Ingredients
- 1x 320g/11.3oz sheet of Puff Pastry (see notes)
- 60g / 2oz Caramelised Onion Chutney
- 75g / 2.5oz Red Leicester or Cheddar, grated
- 150g / 5.3oz Sausage Meat (see notes)
- 1 Egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- Slice the pastry into 6 equal-sized squares. Take one of the squares and make a slice directly from the centre down to the side closest to you, leaving you with 4 'segments'. Leave the bottom right one clear and spread onion chutney in the top right corner. Add cheese to the top left one, then spread sausage meat in the bottom left one.
- Fold the bottom right corner to cover the chutney, fold over the cheese, then finally fold over the sausage meat (see video below for reference). You can pinch some of the top sides together to make sure the 'lid' doesn't fly off in the oven.
- Place on a baking tray (I line mine with the baking paper included with the puff pastry) then repeat with the remaining squares.
- Once all on the tray, brush with egg wash then bake for 30-35mins, or until golden, puffed up and crispy. Enjoy!
