Method
 

How to Make Cajun Sausage Puffs
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup.
  2. On a floured surface, roll out your thawed puff pastry until it's nice and elastic. Cut it into squares, roughly 3 inches each.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped andouille sausages, bourbon, honey, and mustard. Stir well.
  4. Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold over to create a triangle and seal the edges with a fork.
  5. Brush the tops with the whisked egg, then place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
