Ingredients

  • ½ cup breakfast sausage, casings removed
  • ½ cup chopped canned black truffles
  • ½ cup foie gras (duck liver) diced
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 beaten egg

Instructions

  1. In small bowl, combine sausage, truffles, foie gras and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Mix until thoroughly blended.
  3. Use biscuit cutter to remove 3-inch circles of puff pastry.
  4. Make tiny ball of sausage mixture, place in center of pastry circle. Brush second pastry circle with egg mixture and place, egg side down, over sausage-filled pastry. Use blunt back of biscuit cutter (or other, slightly smaller ring-shaped object) to press centers of pastry circles together, creating a sealed mound in the center and leaving a short rim of dough around the edges. Chef note: Pastry circles must be firmly sealed so filling does not leak out during baking.
  5. Place on baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush top of each pastry with egg mixture.
  6. Bake in 375 degree oven 15 to 20 minutes, until pastry is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
