Brunch doesn’t need to be fussy to feel special. Sometimes the best dishes come from a handful of fresh ingredients prepared in a simple, creative way. Tomato Sausage Pastries check all those boxes. Each square combines golden puff pastry, savory sausage, melty cheese, and juicy tomatoes in a dish that looks as good as it tastes.
What really makes this recipe shine is the tomatoes. Using a mix of red, yellow, and orange cherry tomatoes creates a beautiful mosaic of color on each pastry. Since they bake right on top, the tomatoes soften slightly, their juices mingling with the mozzarella and sausage for a burst of fresh flavor in every bite. If you’re shopping at our orchard and farm market, pick up a variety of cherry tomatoes—you’ll love the way they brighten the tray.
Since the recipe calls for store-bought puff pastry, you can put it together without much effort. Cut the pastry into squares, spoon in sausage, sprinkle cheese, and top with slices of fresh tomatoes. A touch of garlic, parmesan, and pepper brings the flavors together. In just about half an hour, you’ll pull a tray of golden, flaky pastries from the oven, ready to serve warm.
These pastries look as good as they taste, making them perfect for entertaining. Arrange them on a platter straight from the oven, and you’ve got a dish that’s colorful, inviting, and downright irresistible. Pair them with fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete brunch menu, or serve them alongside coffee and tea for a simple yet satisfying treat.
Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just your own household, Tomato Sausage Pastries are sure to become a brunch favorite. Stop by the farm market, gather up some multicolored cherry tomatoes, and give this easy recipe a try!
