• Cut sausage into 1/4" circles.
• Using ring cutter, cut puff pastry into circles that are slightly larger in diameter than the sausage pieces.
• Using a fork, poke holes in puff pastry circles. Place sausage in center of pastry circles, and put on baking sheet.
• Bake at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until pastry has puffed up and is golden brown.
• Allow to cool slightly. Transfer to serving platter.
• Garnish with apricot mustard (recipe below) & parsley and enjoy!
• TIP: If any of the pastry pieces rise to one side, and the sausage starts to fall off, quickly push sausage back down in center and return to the oven.
