Ingredients

You’ll need the following for about 16 sausage rolls:

  • 1 lb ground sausage (pork, chicken, or turkey sausage — your choice)

  • 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 tsp dried thyme or mixed herbs

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

  • Optional: Dijon mustard or cheese for extra flavor inside

‍ Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Filling

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sausage, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.

  • Mix well until fully combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Sausage Rolls

  1. Roll out each puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut in half horizontally to make 4 long strips total.

  2. Spoon the sausage mixture down the center of each strip, forming a log shape.

  3. Optional: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or sprinkle some cheese before rolling.

  4. Fold the pastry over the sausage and seal the edge by pressing with a fork or your fingers.

  5. Slice each long roll into 4 equal pieces (or desired size).

  6. Place the sausage rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet.

  7. Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 4: Bake

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is crispy and golden brown and the sausage is fully cooked.

  • Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Storage & Reheating

  • Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

  • Freezer: Freeze unbaked or baked sausage rolls for up to 2 months.

  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the pastry crisp.

Tips for Perfect Sausage Rolls

  • Use cold puff pastry — it puffs better when chilled.

  • Customize your filling with spices, fresh herbs, or a bit of grated cheese.

  • For even more flavor, use flavored sausage like Italian or chorizo.
