    This recipe is almost identical to the crazy popular Puff Pastry Sausage Rolls that my family has been fighting over during the holidays for over 30 years! The sausage rolls can be made two-bite sized for appetizers, or larger to serve as a meal.

    I wanted these bites to be quicker and even easier to make, not that the original is hard in any way, but these bites are the perfect size for serving large crowds.

    📋 what you will need

    Ingredients to make puff pastry sausage bites.
    • Pork Sausage - you want a good-quality sausage that is not super high in fat or loaded with MSG. I use Kroegers' brand but there are many other good ones.
    • Onion, Garlic, and Mustard Powders - these seasonings add a boost of flavor to the already flavored sausage. You could skip this step, but I do not recommend it.
    • Egg Yolk and Panko Crumbs to bind the mixture together and add to the texture.
    • Italian Parsley - this is something that I always seem to forget to add. It does add some freshness, but they are still delicious without it.

    👩🏻‍🍳 How to make puff pastry sausage bites

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.

    Mix the sausage, panko crumbs, onion, garlic, mustard, beaten egg, and parsley (if using) together in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

    Quick Tip

    Dip your finger into a small bowl of water and run it along the seam to moisten. This will help keep the seams together.

    Cut each roll into 12 (1-inch) slices, giving you a total of 36 slices.

    Quick Tip

    Use a knife to create score lines first. You can always make adjustments if needed BEFORE you cut.

    📌 recipe notes & tips

    • Sausage bites are best served warm or at room temperature, but we have been known to eat them cold out of the refrigerator as well.
    • Serve with HP Sauce, spicy brown mustard, or dipping sauce of your choice.
    • Keep the puff pastry cold until ready to roll. It will become sticky if left on the counter too long.
    • Save the second sheet of puff pastry, wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days. Use for another recipe or double this recipe and make even more sausage bites.

    🥡 Make ahead and storing leftovers

    To make ahead of time

    Place the unbaked sausage bites on a baking sheet. Cover and freeze until firm. Remove the frozen slices and store in a gallon size zipper top bag, or airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.

    When ready to serve, bake the frozen slices on a parchment lined baking sheet at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.

    To store leftovers

    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Trust me, they won't last that long!
