Today, I suggest a tree made of mini sausages in puff pastry. An appetizer for year-end festivities. It's pretty, it decorates the table, and it's enjoyable to eat. This is not the first time I've made it, and it has always been a big hit with everyone. Plus, it's easy to prepare, and you can involve the kids in the process. They will love it. To vary the flavors, I used a mix of spiced sausages. You can also offer sauces to accompany them. It's truly delicious.
Pre-cook the sausages for 1 minute in boiling water. Let cool.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (or 200°C for conventional heat).
Unroll the puff pastry and cut circles about 2 cm wide, working from the outside toward the inside. Then cut each circle into strips approximately 12-13 cm long. I obtained 26 strips from each pastry and needed 45 sausages to create the tree.
Wrap each small sausage in a piece of dough, enveloping it. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming a tree (from bottom to top): 2 rows of 6 + 2 rows of 5 + 2 rows of 4 + 2 rows of 3 + 2 rows of 2 + 2 rows of 1 and 3 sausages for the base. Position the sausages side by side.
In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk with the milk (or water).
Brush the sausages with this glaze. Depending on your preference, sprinkle with sesame or other seeds (sesame and poppy seeds for me).
Bake for about 25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
Finally, you can serve them hot or cold, on their own or accompanied by sauces.
