I still remember the first time I made it — the smell filled the whole house, the children came running, and it’s been our favorite dish ever since
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a large skillet, fry the sausage over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat.
In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, melted cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth. If using cheddar cheese, stir it in now.
Roll out the puff pastry and cut it into triangles.
Place the sausage mixture on the widest end of each triangle and roll it up toward the narrowest end, pressing the edges to seal.
Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
For a glossy, golden color, brush the tops with a beaten egg.
Bake in a preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the croissants are golden brown.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
Variations and tips
: To add a savory touch, try using hot sausage or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as pepper jack or mozzarella, to give the dish its own unique character. If you prefer, you can substitute croissant dough for the croissant dough for a more crumbly texture. And to spice up your brunch, consider adding finely chopped paprika or green onions to the filling for an extra dose of flavor.
