INGREDIENTS
For the sausage bites:
– 1/2 lb sausage
– 2 large eggs, separated
– 2 tbsp grated onion
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
– 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator overnight
For the sauce:
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
– 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
– 2 tsp honey
– 1/4 tsp black pepper
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– kosher salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
For the sausage bites:
– Preheat the oven to 400℉. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry just enough to smooth the seams. Cut the pastry in half, ending with two long rectangles of pastry.
– In a small bowl, combine the sausage, one beaten egg, grated onion, minced garlic, and breadcrumbs. Mix together well, incorporating all of the ingredients. Divide the sausage mixture into two. Place each half of the sausage on a piece of the prepared pastry and shape it into a long, thin log about 1 inch wide and tall.
– Beat the remaining egg and brush one long side of each pastry lightly with the egg. Roll the pastry over the sausage and overlapping the egg-washed portion to create a seal. Roll each log over, leaving the sealed edge on the bottom.
– Cut each log into 8 pieces, resulting in 16 bites. Place the bites onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the bites with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in the preheated 400°F oven until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the sausage registers 160℉, 20-25 minutes. Serve immediately with the mustard sauce.
For the sauce:
– In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, black pepper, and garlic. Stir to combine and taste for seasoning. Add kosher salt as needed. Store the sauce in the refrigerator.
