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
- In small bowl, combine sausage, truffles, foie gras and freshly ground black pepper.
- Mix until thoroughly blended.
- Use biscuit cutter to remove 3-inch circles of puff pastry.
- 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.
- Place on baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush top of each pastry with egg mixture.
- Bake in 375 degree oven 15 to 20 minutes, until pastry is golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
