PASTRY FILLED SAUSAGE BITES

Category: Hot

2 eggs, divided
1 lb mild pork sausage
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup finely chopped green pepper
1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
2 sheets pastry puff dough
1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400. In a large bowl, combine 1 egg and next 4 ingredients; stir until well blended. Shape into 5 inch long rolls. Place on a broiler pan and bake 30-35 minutes or until sausage is fully cooked and brown. Transfer to paper towels and cool to room temperature.

While sausage is baking, thaw pastry according to pkg directions. Increase oven to 425.

Spread mustard evenly over each sheet of pastry. Sprinkle cheese evenly over mustard. Cut each sheet of pastry in half from top to bottom and again from left to right. Place 1 sausage roll near long edge of pastry quarter. Roll up jelly-roll fashion. Beat remaining egg in a small bowl. Brush edge of pastry with egg to seal. Place pastry, sealed edge down, on a greased baking sheet.

Repeat for remaining sausage rolls. Bake 20-25 minutes or until pastry browns. Cut into 1 inch slices and serve warm.
