Oct 14, 2021 · 15 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Looking for a super easy 5 ingredient sausage appetizer recipe that can be made last minute? Or perhaps a sausage appetizer that is an adult version/riff on a classic ‘pigs in a blanket’? This 5 ingredient sausage puff pastry appetizer recipe will leave your guests asking for the recipe!

I don’t know why, but in the past I’ve had a fear of working with puff pastry sheets.

Puff pastry for appetizers

It could be that I had a few times my puff pastry sheets puffed up and burned in the oven, so I must have dismissed them.

But then at an event I went to with passed appetizers, they were serving sausage puff pastry bites as an appetizer.  It was literally a piece of sausage wrapped in a puff pastry.

So I jotted down the idea in my phone and never thought anything of it. Until I walked by the freezer section where the puff pastry is in the grocery store and it caught my eye. I purchased a package and made these bites and then wanted to take them up a notch.

What ingredients do I need for these sausage puff pastry bites?

  • Puff pastry
  • Pre-cooked Polish sausage
  • Lemon
  • Rosemary sprigs
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

I wanted to take this 5 ingredient sausage puff pastry appetizer recipe to the next level so I added lemon zest and finely chopped rosemary.  This makes them the perfect party appetizer.

They are fancy enough for adults, but at the same time are enjoyed by all-ages (these are totally a kid-approved appetizer) because it’s like you’re eating a ‘pig in the blanket’…but more refined because let’s face it, puff pastry does have that certain fancy feeling to it!

How do you make this easy appetizer?

  1. Cut little puff pastry circles (I used a small biscuit cutter)
  2. Cut a little x in the middle, then cut polish sausage into pieces.
  3. Put a piece of sausage into the x and bake!
  4. Once baked, sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped rosemary and serve with marinara sauce.

Dipping appetizer bite into sauce

Also, these sausage puff pastry bites only have 5 ingredients (puff pastry, sausage, lemon zest, rosemary, marinara sauce) which makes them perfect for this week’s Five-Ingredient Friday recipe!

Watch these Polish sausage puff pastry appetizers disappear when you serve them. I brought them over to a party, and someone told me I needed to move them away because they had had 6 bites and said he was going to finish them before anyone else had any lol.

    Awesome post. We totally fell in love with your lemon zest and rosemary addition to these! There are sausages sold here (horiatiko loukaniko), in the Peloponnese mostly, that actually contain orange zest, so we know we’re gonna devour your appetizers in only a few minutes:) This would be an awesome main dish for us. No need for anything else, just what you suggested here:) And we’d be in heaven:)
    Thank you so much dear Phi! Pinned!
    Sending you our love!

      Hi Ada, yes, they do make gluten free puff pastry dough, I’ve seen it at Whole Foods and other natural grocery stores. Or you could use gluten free pie dough instead. I do a mix of gluten free/with gluten recipes. At the top of the post you’ll see ‘categories’ and I always categorize a recipe as gluten free if it is. I will definitely make a point of trying to include substitutions in the recipes as I write them moving forward. Thank you for commenting!
