Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
• 250 grams breakfast sausage
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and let it thaw if frozen. Ensure the sheet is slightly pliable but still cold.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the breakfast sausage, breadcrumbs, ground black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 4

Shape the sausage mixture into a long, even log that matches the length of your puff pastry sheet.

Step 5

Place the sausage log in the center of the puff pastry sheet.

Step 6

In a small bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk to create an egg wash.

Step 7

Brush one edge of the puff pastry with the egg wash, then fold the pastry over the sausage log to encase it completely. Press the edges firmly to seal and trim any excess pastry if necessary.

Step 8

Turn the roll over so the seam is on the bottom, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Brush the entire surface of the pastry with the remaining egg wash to ensure a golden, shiny finish.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, gently score the top of the pastry with small diagonal slashes to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into portions. Serve warm and enjoy!
