Recipe Overview
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
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
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Roll Out the Pastry: On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of 3-4 mm. Cut it into squares or rectangles based on your preferred serving size.
- Prepare the Base: Lightly brush each pastry square with beaten egg to ensure a golden, glossy finish when baked.
- Layer the Toppings:
- Spread a thin layer of ketchup on the center of each pastry square.
- Add slices of boiled sausage and smoked sausage.
- Top with a slice of tomato and pickled cucumber.
- Add Cheese and Mayo:
- Drizzle a small amount of mayonnaise over the layered ingredients.
- Generously sprinkle grated cheese on top to create a delicious, melty topping.
- Optional: For a tart-style presentation, leave the edges open. Alternatively, fold the edges over the filling and press gently to seal for a pocket-style snack.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the prepared pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed, and the cheese is perfectly melted.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pastries cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a savory appetizer or a delightful snack!
