Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 500 grams ground sausage (pork, chicken, or turkey)
• 100 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
• 50 grams breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or wholegrain)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, breadcrumbs, shredded cheddar cheese, parsley, thyme, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.

Step 3

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets if needed to ensure they're smooth and pliable.

Step 4

Cut each puff pastry sheet in half lengthwise to create four long rectangles.

Step 5

Divide the sausage mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a long log, slightly shorter than the length of the pastry rectangles.

Step 6

Place one sausage log along one edge of each pastry rectangle. Brush the opposite edge of the pastry with a little water to help seal the roll.

Step 7

Roll the pastry tightly around the sausage mixture, pressing the edge firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining sausage logs and pastry rectangles.

Step 8

Cut each roll into 4 equal pieces to create bite-sized sausage rolls, or leave them as larger rolls if desired.

Step 9

Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each roll with the egg wash, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.

Step 10

Place the sausage rolls on the prepared baking tray, leaving a small gap between each to ensure even cooking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the sausage filling is cooked through.

Step 12

Remove the sausage rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
