Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces pork sausage, crumbled
4 medium leeks, rinsed, coarsely chopped, white parts only
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1 (17 1/4 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed 20 minutes
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Saute sausage in medium skillet over medium-high heat until meat starts to render fat, about 5 minutes. Break up sausage with back of wooden spoon. Stir in leeks and thyme and reduce heat to medium. Cook covered until leeks are golden and soft, about 15 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Unfold 1 pastry sheet on ungreased baking sheet. Spread half the sausage mixture lengthwise over half of pastry, leaving 2-inch border at long edge. Beat egg and milk lightly together and brush over 2-inch border with fingertips. Trim border with sharp knife. Brush top with egg wash. Cut slits in top 1/2 inch apart and parallel to short edges.
  • Repeat step 3 with second sheet pastry and remaining sausage mixture.
  • Bake until lightly browned and puffed, about 20 minutes. Cut into 1-inch slices and serve hot.
