This year, I made these sausage strudel bites for breakfast on Thanksgiving morning, Christmas morning . . . and I may just make them again on New Year’s morning.
They’re that good.
So easy to make ahead and then bake just before eating. And oh my word, they taste fabulous. Whenever hubby needs to take something for a breakfast at work, I send these, and they always get rave reviews.
Really, this almost isn’t a recipe. It’s more instructions on how to put them together. I’m pretty sure the original idea was one I found on the package of puff pastry years ago, but I’ve come up with a few tricks that make it super simple.
Ingredients:
One pound roll of breakfast sausage.
One package of Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry sheets. This stuff is fantastic. It’s found near the frozen pie crusts.
Remove the puff pastry sheets from their package and thaw for 30 minutes.
After they thaw, roll them out to make them smooth and a little bigger. Take about one-sixth of the roll of sausage and roll it between your hands to make a snake as long as the pastry.
Cut the pastry alongside the sausage, and then roll it over, wrapping the sausage in pastry.
Using kitchen scissors, cut the rolled strudel into bite sized pieces.
They don’t have to be perfectly shaped, no one will care.
Bake in a 350 oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
I love to get these ready the night before and just pop them in the oven in the morning.
They’re special, they’re easy and they’re delicious.
I’m linking this up to Saving the Family Money for her Christmas morning recipe link-up.
Yummy! I gotta try this…
We loved the breakfast pockets from a few months back, btw.
I'm so glad you loved them! I need to make some more soon!
Do you have to cook the sausage first? I have breakfast sausage in my freezer!!
No, it cooks as the pastry cooks. So easy!
Excellent! Thanks Nony!
This is perfect. I'm going to Aldis where they have sausage for about $1/lb and I already have a pastry sheet in the freezer. I can make these Sat morning before I go to work since my dad will be watching the kids. Keep the good ideas coming!
Sweet! My family would love that. I would have to use the whole pig though and several of of those packages of pastry sheets to feed my family but it looks delicious!
thanks for sharing I know what I will be checking out soon I think my teens will love this
Oh that looks easy! I can do that!
Thanks for sharing this easy recipe.
Happy New Year!

Whoa. Those look so good. I can see why you keep making them! So glad you linked these to Food on Fridays so I can experiment with that yummy goodness myself.
I just made these… they are in the oven right now! I had the thought that they look like pizza rolls and wonder if pizza crust, sauce, sausage and cheese would be good… maybe I'll try those next week.
My boyfriend is getting really tired of eating poptarts for breakfast and this is something he can take to work and pop in the microwave for breakfast.
So, in your words, Go Me!
Thanks!!
My Dad makes something called "don't call it Quiche"… basically it's scrambled eggs, bisquick, water and sausage and cheese. form into a 9×9 baking pan and cooked at 325 for 30 or 45 minutes. YUM! Even the kids love it. He serves with a side of fruit.
OH, YUM! And even the kiddos can do that!
Thanks for the idea.
