Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1lb pork sausage (in tube)
- 8oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup pesto
- 1 tsp red pepper flake
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- Marinara for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Unfold puff pastry on each baking sheet.
- Cook pork sausage according to package, breaking into small pieces and until completely cooked through. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, sausage, pesto, and red pepper flake.
- Add half of sausage mixture onto each puff pastry and spread to the edges. Spread about 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese on each.
- Fold puff pastry in half horizontally and using a pizza cutter, cut into 10 sticks. Repeat on other puff pastry.
- Twist each puff pastry so that they have about 3 twists. Lay flat on baking sheet.
- Brush each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. I like to dip in marinara sauce!
