Inspired from Vietnamese Pate Chaud Savory Pastry
When we shared our homemade recipe for traditional Vietnamese savory pate chaud meat pastries, it was a hit online on our Instagram account. It’s something we love eating all the time and it was nice to share it with the world. Now we created an even easier version using prepared breakfast sausage and some cheese.
Easy 4 ingredients Sausage Breakfast Pastry Recipe
This simple breakfast pastry recipe is a no brainer recipe my friends. You have to make these! It takes 4 simple ingredients with 2 basic pantry staples. You probably have most of these in your fridge already, but if not it’s a quick grocery store trip.
- Frozen Puff Pastry sheets: you can easily find these frozen puff pastry sheets in the frozen section of your grocery store.
- Prepared Bulk breakfast sausage. Use what ever flavor you like. The spicy ones are nice if you’re craving some heat!
- Grated cheddar cheese or any of your favorite cheese.
- Melted Butter or One egg for the egg wash. We like using egg wash becuase it gives the pastry a golden color
- Top with some fresh black pepper if you like or even some bagel seasoning for that bagel flavor.
Sausage Breakfast Pastries
Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry , thawed (each sheet roughly about 10”x11” from a 17 oz. package with 2 sheets)
- 1 pound (454 g) uncooked breakfast sausage
- 1 cup (113 g) grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Gruyere, provolone, or whatever good melting cheese you like)
- 1 egg , for egg wash
- 1 Tablespoon water , for egg wash
Equipment
- Baking Sheet Pan
- Parchment Paper optional
Instructions
- Thaw puff pastry dough according to package instructions (usually by place in the fridge about 1-2 hours before using but check to see your package instructions).
- Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Working with one sheet at a time (keep the other in the fridge until ready to cut), unfold or unroll the thawed puff pastry. Cut into approximately 3×3 inch squares. (For the Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry & similar you can cut pastry dough down each fold, then each strip into thirds. If you have different sized sheets, the exact size of the cut doesn’t matter, just make sure they are evenly sized pieces and about 3-4” in width and/or length.) Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry.
- Place about 1 Tablespoon of grated cheese in the center of 1/2 the pastry squares.
- Scoop about 2 Tablespoons of the breakfast sausage filling on top of the cheese. It should almost seem like too much filling. The filling will shrink as it cooks and the pastry will expand, so you want to make sure you have a good amount of filling.
- Top each with another tablespoon or so of grated cheese.
- Beat together the egg and 1 Tablespoon of water. Gently brush the egg wash along exposed top edge of puff pastry along all the filled squares.
- Top with the remaining puff pastry dough squares.
- Press down the edges with a fork to seal and create a crimped pattern.
- Place on the lined baking sheet pan, leaving a little space in-between each pastry.
- With a sharp knife, gently cut a small slit on the top of each pastry. Brush the tops each pastry with the egg wash.
- Bake at 375°F/190°C for 25-30 minutes or until pastries are crispy and meat is cooked through. Serve warm or at room temperature.
