Ingredients for air fryer sausage tarts

2 sausages

1 roll of puff pastry

A red onion, peeled and sliced

1 egg, beaten

Method

First I like to get my puff pastry out of the fridge about an hour before I am due to use it. I tend to use shop brought pastry as it saves so much time. While the pastry is getting up to room temperature, I cut the sausages length ways and squeeze out the sausage meat from the skins. Put the sausage meat into a bowl.

When the pasty is ready, cut out small circles, I always use a small bowl I have as a guide. Then pop each pastry circle into my silicon mould. Next slice the red onion and place a small amount into the bottom of each pastry cup.

I then spoon a teaspoon of the sausage mixture into each mould and flatten a little. Egg wash the sides and place into the air fryer on 180c for around 15 minutes.

Once cooked, I carefully remove the silicone moulds from the air fryer drawer and remove the air fryer sausage tarts from the cases and place on a cooling rack.
