### 3. Fold and Seal

Fold the pastry over the filling to create a sealed package. Use a fork or your fingers to crimp the edges, making sure no filling escapes during baking. Brush the top with beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden finish.

### 4. Bake

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the stuffed puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

### 5. Serve and Enjoy

Allow the pastry to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as mustard or marinara.

## Tips for Success

* **Use cold puff pastry:** This helps the pastry puff up nicely.
* **Don’t overfill:** Too much filling can make the pastry soggy or cause it to burst open.
* **Experiment with flavors:** Add spices like paprika or red pepper flakes to the sausage for a kick.
