Ingredients

For the Sausage Bites

1 pound sausage (your choice of flavor)
1 package puff pastry (thawed)
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
1 tablespoon mustard (optional, for dipping)

Make sure to have all ingredients ready before starting.

Instructions

Prepare the Puff Pastry

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares (approximately 3x3 inches).

Fill with Sausage

Place a small spoonful of sausage in the center of each square. Fold the corners of the pastry over the sausage and pinch to seal.

Brush and Bake

Place the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with mustard for dipping.

Enjoy your delicious Kilted Sausage Bites!

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you have any leftover Kilted Sausage Bites, storing them is simple. Allow the bites to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, consider freezing them before baking. Just make sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.

When you're ready to enjoy the leftovers, reheating is a breeze. Simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This will help restore their flaky texture and ensure they taste just as good as when they were freshly baked.

Pairing Suggestions

To elevate your Kilted Sausage Bites experience, consider pairing them with complementary sides and beverages. A fresh, crisp salad can balance the richness of the sausage, while a selection of pickles or olives adds a nice tangy contrast.

For drinks, craft beers or a light white wine are excellent choices. They can enhance the flavors of the sausage while keeping the meal light and refreshing. If you're serving these bites at a party, consider setting up a drink station with various options to cater to all tastes.
