Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
• 500 grams Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casing removed)
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs
• 40 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Crack one egg into the sausage mixture and mix thoroughly to bind everything together.

Step 4

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets if they are not pre-rolled. Cut each sheet in half lengthwise to create four long rectangles in total.

Step 5

Divide the sausage mixture into four equal portions and roll each portion into a log slightly shorter than the length of the pastry.

Step 6

Place one sausage log along the edge of each pastry rectangle. Roll the pastry tightly over the sausage, sealing the edge with a dab of water.

Step 7

Trim any excess pastry and place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and the tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash.

Step 9

Brush the egg wash over the top of each roll for a golden, shiny finish.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 2-3 smaller pieces for individual sausage rolls. Space them apart on the baking sheet.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Allow the sausage rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
