Not only are they crispy and full of flavor, but they’re also easy to modify according to the ingredients you have on hand. Because you can serve them as snacks or appetizers, they’re perfect for parties, picnics, and potlucks. And, if you have any leftovers, they freeze very well. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started!

Würstel Savory Pies Variations
If you want to add your own twist on these savory pies, you can switch the sausages and cheese for other ingredients. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

roasted red pepper (chopped) and cream cheese
spinach and feta
smoked chicken and feta
tuna and roasted red pepper
This recipe can be used with other ingredients like smoked chicken, BBQ chicken, BBQ pork, and even cooked ground beef!

For a sweet option, spread the bottom layer with a chocolate spread (or a hazelnut spread like Nutella) and top with sliced bananas!

Tips
The puff pastry should be completely thawed so it’s pliable enough to roll out but still cold. The best is to leave it to thaw overnight in the fridge instead of leaving it on the kitchen counter at room temperature.  If the puff pastry is too warm, it won’t puff enough.

The oven should be hot (preheated to 180°). If you see the pastry squares brown too quickly (before the cheese has started to melt), you can place a sheet of foil loosely on top.

How to Store Würstel Savory Pies
Store the Würstel Savory Pies in an airtight container (in the fridge) for up to 2 days. Reheat the pastries in the oven to make them crispy again.

Can You Freeze Würstel Savory Pies
Yes, the baked puff pastry squares can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow the pastry squares to cool completely, then wrap them with plastic wrap. Transfer the wrapped puff pastry squares to a freezer bag for freezing.
