Time 1h
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400*F In a large bowl combine sausage, syrup, eggs, green onions, stuffing mix and apples. Mix well with spatula and or hands and set aside. I find hands work great for this! Roll out each pastry sheet to a 16 x 12 inch rectangle on a baking mat, parchment paper or nonstick foil. Place half of the sausage mixture down the center of one of the pastry sheets. Fold up each end of pastry sheet to cover edges at each end of sausage. Slice 1 inch slits down both sides of pastry then fold up strips on top of sausage, alternating sides like a braid. Transfer braid to a cookie sheet. Repeat the above steps for second pastry sheet and braid. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting into slices. Drizzle with additional maple syrup and enjoy!
JALAPENO, SAUSAGE, JACK, AND EGG BREAKFAST BRAID
This is a delicious recipe that is easy to make. It was orginally in the January 2010 issue of Cooking Light, but I made a couple of changes, so the ratio of bread to filling would be a bit more even. I also use whatever cheese I have on hand, usually (whatever you'd put in an omelet). Even if your sausage is fully cooked, don't hesitate to brown it with the onions, because it brings out the flavor that much more. This is easy to make for breakfast or brunch. We sometimes have this as "breakfast for dinner" with roasted ranch potatoes, and we can have leftovers for breakfast the next morning!

Tips
- For the best results, use a good quality puff pastry. Puff pastry that is too old or has been mishandled will not rise properly.
- Make sure the puff pastry is cold before you start working with it. This will help to prevent it from becoming sticky and difficult to handle.
- If you are having trouble rolling out the puff pastry, place it between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin.
- Be careful not to overfill the braid. If you put too much filling in, it will be difficult to braid and the braid will not hold its shape.
- Brush the braid with an egg wash before baking. This will help to give the braid a golden brown color.
- Serve the braid warm or at room temperature.
