Ingredients

1 package of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

1/2 lb (225g) sausage, crumbled and cooked

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, cook the sausage until it’s fully browned. Drain any excess fat and transfer the cooked sausage to a bowl. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into triangles, similar to croissant shapes.

Fill the Pastry: Place a spoonful of the sausage and cheese filling at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the pastry from the wide end to the tip, tucking in the filling as you go to form a crescent shape.

Apply Egg Wash: Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each one lightly with the beaten egg to give it a golden, shiny finish.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and puffed up.

Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
