A simple & tasty recipe for How to Bake Pork Sausages in Puff Pastry is a great one to have up your sleeve.

Children love these tasty appetizer tidbits that I frequently serve when I have guests, but they also make a great main dish for school lunches.

All you need is a package of puff pastry, 4 or 5 pork breakfast sausages and a hot oven.

This makes a nice change for children who bring lunch to school every day.

Baked Pork Sausages in Puff Pastry:

This recipe is so easy to make, and goes a long way to satisfying those hunger pains.

Type: Appetizer Recipe

Prep Time: 7 – 8 min
Cook Time: 5 min
Bake Time: 8 – 10 min
Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients:

4 or 5 pork sausages
1/2 package of puff pastry
small packets of ketchup, mustard or honey

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
I like to saute my pork sausages slightly for about 5 min before using them in my puff pastry. Then, set them on a paper towel to absorb some of the grease.
Open package of puff pastry, unroll the pastry and cut in half.
Using rolling pin, roll out to a rectangle about 6 x 8 inches.
Line up the sausages along the long edge of the rectangle, and roll up snugly to the end.
Using a sharp knife, cut the sausage in pastry into 2 inch long pieces.
Place puff pastries on a baking sheet with the sausage facing up and bake 8 – 10 min or until the pastry is a golden brown color.

Some children like to dunk their sausages in ketchup, mustard or honey. Provide small packets of the preferred dip.

Raw vegetables and some cheddar cheese or mozzarella cubes are a good accompaniment for the sausage. You could also provide a little dip with the veggies.

A nice, big, juicy apple would make a perfect dessert with this lunch. Your child will be looking forward to lunch all morning.
