Ingredients
  

Puff Pastry Bars
  • 2 puff pastry sheets
  • 8 oz ground sausage
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 bag frozen shredded hash browns see notes
  • 1 egg
  • 6 slices cheese havarti or cheddar
  • 4-6 oz bacon chopped

Equipment

  • Frying Pan
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a small/medium cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  2. Bake one puff pastry sheet for 10 minutes until partially cooked. Avoid fully cooking to prevent a soggy bottom crust.
  3. In a frying pan, cook ground sausage until browned. Add flour to create a roux, then add milk and pepper. Remove from heat.
  4. Spread sausage gravy on the pre-baked puff pastry sheet.
  5. Cook hash browns until golden and crispy, then layer on top of the sausage gravy.
  6. Mix an egg and pour half over the hash browns. Brush pastry edges with egg.
  7. Prepare bacon to your liking, crumble, and sprinkle over the layers.
  8. Layer cheese slices on top of the bacon.
  9. Place the second puff pastry sheet on top, seal edges with a fork, and brush with egg wash.
  10. Bake for 18-23 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting.

Notes

For a lighter option, use turkey sausage and turkey bacon. Ensure the hash browns are well-drained to prevent sogginess.
