What you'll need
-
1 pack HECK! 97% Pork Sausages
-
1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
-
200g baked beans
-
100g mature cheddar, grated
-
1 tsp wholegrain mustard (optional)
-
1 egg, beaten
Method
-
Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
-
Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces and cook in a frying pan over a medium heat until golden and cooked through.
-
Add the cooked sausage pieces to a bowl with the baked beans, grated cheddar and wholegrain mustard, if using. Mix well.
-
Unroll the puff pastry and cut into 4 equal rectangles.
-
Spoon the filling onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edge.
-
Brush the edges with beaten egg, fold the pastry over the filling and press down with a fork to seal.
-
Transfer to the baking tray, brush the tops with the remaining egg and cut a small slit in each one.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden, crisp and beautifully puffed.

Leave to cool slightly before serving.
