Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 lb ground sausage
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out the 1 puff pastry sheet on a floured surface into a 12-inch square, then transfer to a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix the 1 lb ground sausage with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper until just combined. Shape into a log about 8 inches long.

  3. 3

    Lay the 4 bacon slices side by side on a cutting board. Place the sausage log on top and wrap the bacon around it, tucking the ends underneath.

  4. 4

    Place the wrapped log in the center of the pastry. Fold the pastry over to enclose it, pressing edges to seal. Beat the 1 egg and brush over the top.

  5. 5

    Bake until the pastry is golden and puffed and the internal temperature reaches 160°F, about 20-25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
