Ingredients

Pastry

  • Ready-to-use puff pastry sheets – quantity as needed (typically 1 sheet for 6-8 rolls)

Sausage Filling

  • Breakfast sausage meat – 12 oz (340 g), casings removed
  • Onion, finely chopped – 1 small (about ¼ cup)
  • Black pepper – ½ teaspoon
  • Sage or thyme (fresh or dried) – 1 teaspoon

Egg Wash

  • Egg – 1 large
  • Water – 1 teaspoon

Optional Herbs & Spices

  • Additional herbs like rosemary, parsley, or chili flakes (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage Filling: Remove the sausage meat from its casing and combine it thoroughly with the finely chopped onion and your chosen herbs or spices to ensure even flavor throughout.
  2. Roll Out the Pastry: Lay the puff pastry sheet flat on a lightly floured surface and cut it into rectangular pieces large enough to comfortably wrap the sausage filling.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Place a generous amount of sausage mixture along one edge of each pastry rectangle. Carefully roll the pastry over the filling and seal the edges with a little water to prevent leakage during baking.
  4. Brush with Egg Wash: Whisk the egg and water together, then lightly brush the mixture evenly over the sausage rolls to achieve a golden, shiny finish once baked.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the rolls on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is crisp, golden, and the sausage is fully cooked.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry chilled until ready to use for maximum flakiness.
  • Do not overfill sausage mixture to avoid bursting and maintain neat rolls.
  • Cut pastry into uniform sizes to ensure even baking.
  • Test seasoning by cooking a small portion of sausage mixture before assembling.
  • Brush egg wash gently to prevent tearing the pastry.
  • Reheat leftovers in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-12 minutes to maintain crispiness.
  • Freeze rolls wrapped tightly for up to 1 month; bake from frozen adding extra cooking time.
