Easy Breakfast Sausage Cheese Puff Pastries (3 Ingredients)

This is a no brainer recipe my friends. You have to make these! It takes 3 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.

  • Puff Pastry sheets: you can easily find these frozen puff pastry sheets in the frozen section of your grocery store.
  • Bulk breakfast sausage. Use what ever flavor you like.
  • Grated cheddar cheese or any of your favorite cheese.
  • One egg for the egg wash. This gives the pastry a golden color
  • Top with some fresh black pepper if you like or even some bagel seasoning

Breakfast Sausage & Cheese Puff Pastries

Each brand of puff pastry will vary in size. Even different products of the same brand may vary. The exact size doesn’t matter, just cut the puff pastry into evenly sized pieces. We find that a roughly 3” square is a great size, but you can do a 3”x4” rectangle or other dimensions you want to make. Make sure to adjust the amount of filling used so that you have a good filling to dough ratio. If it is too little filling, it may feel skimpy after it bakes since the filling will shrink as it cooks and the puff pastry will expand.

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry , thawed (usually one 17.3 oz. package with 2 sheets approximately 9.75"x10.5”)
  • 1 pound uncooked breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, pepper jack, whatever good melting cheese you like)
  • 1 egg , beaten for brushing on pastry

Instructions 

  • Thaw dough according to package instructions (usually about 1-2 hours before using).
    thawing frozen puff pastry
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    Oven knobs
  • Un-fold and cut into approximately 3×3 inch squares. (For the Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry & similar you can cut pastry dough down each fold, then 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.)

  • 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.

Can you Freeze These Savory Breakfast Pastries?

Freezing these is great if you didn’t finish the batch. How can you not have finished the whole batch?! Anyways, if you end up having some leftovers then yes freeze them. Before serving take them out of the freezer and let them thaw or soften in the fridge overnight. Or leave them out for a few hours. Then crisp them up in the air fryer, oven or skillet on low heat. They’re super delicious when heated up before serving.
