by

Why Everyone Loves This

  • Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside
  • Juicy sausages + melted cheese = comfort food perfection
  • Great for parties, snacks, kids, or quick dinners
  • Uses basic ingredients you probably already have

INGREDIENTS (Serves 6–8)

Main Ingredients

  • 6–8 beef or chicken sausages (hot dogs work too)
  • 1 sheet puff pastry OR pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 150–200 g mozzarella or cheddar cheese (sticks or grated)

Optional Add-Ins (Highly Recommended 😋)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried oregano or thyme
  • Mustard or ketchup (for inside or serving)

For Brushing

  • 1 egg (beaten) OR
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (for a softer crust)

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the Oven

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper

Prep the Sausages

  • Slice each sausage lengthwise (don’t cut all the way through)
  • Insert cheese inside the slit

This is what gives that melty cheese leak you see in the photo!

Prepare the Dough

  • Roll out puff pastry or dough on a lightly floured surface
  • Cut into long strips, wide enough to wrap around the sausage

Wrap Them Up

  • Place the cheese-stuffed sausage on the dough strip
  • Roll tightly but don’t seal completely — leave tiny gaps for cheese to escape (important!)
  • Place seam-side down on the tray

Brush & Season

  • Brush with beaten egg or melted butter
  • Sprinkle lightly with:
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • Black pepper
  • Dried herbs

Bake to Golden Perfection

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes
  • Until:
  • Dough is golden and flaky
  • Cheese bubbles out (the BEST part )

PRO TIPS (THIS MAKES IT NEXT LEVEL)

  • Use cheese sticks instead of grated for bigger cheese pull
  • If cheese leaks too much, don’t worry — it crisps up and tastes amazing
  • Want extra flavor?
    Brush with garlic butter after baking
  • For crispier bottoms, bake on the lower oven rack

SERVING IDEAS

Serve hot with:

  • Ketchup
  • Mustard
  • BBQ sauce

STORAGE & REHEATING
