For 25 portions

Ingredients

Dough:

350 g plain flour
250 g softened butter or Hera margarine
5 tablespoons sour cream

To finish:

1 egg
seasoning to taste (e.g. sweet paprika, pepper, garlic powder)
soft or hard cheese for sprinkling
spicy sausage (e.g. čabajka), sliced into rounds

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation In a bowl mix the plain flour, softened Hera or butter and the sour cream. Work into a smooth, soft dough with your hands. Wrap it in cling film and let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour – the dough will firm up and be easier to work with.
Shaping Roll the rested dough out on a lightly floured work surface to a thickness of about 3–4 mm. Use a glass or cutter to cut out circles.
Assembling the bites Beat the egg with your favorite seasoning in a small bowl. Place a slice of sausage on half of the circles and brush them with the seasoned egg. Top with the remaining circles, gently press the edges together and brush again with egg. Finally, sprinkle the surface with cheese.
Baking Transfer the bites to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 180 °C for about 15–18 minutes, until golden.
