Steps for Preparing Savory Puff Pastry Croissants for Holiday Appetizers
Unroll the pastry and divide each disc into 8 triangles. If you prefer, you can also divide them into 16 smaller pieces.
Blend the sausage without casing with the stracchino in a small bowl to make a cream.
Use a piping bag to distribute the mixture on each triangle, at the wide base. You can also use 2 teaspoons.
Roll up and enclose the filling in the pastry. Transfer the croissants to the baking sheet lined with parchment paper, using the same that comes with the ready pastry.
Brush the croissants with beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 30 minutes.
These filled puff pastry croissants are delicious served hot, so keep them ready and bake at the last moment, but they are also good cold, so you can choose to bake them a bit in advance too. If necessary, they can also be frozen before baking, if using fresh sausage.
