Cheesy Sausage Puff Pastry Rolls Recipe

 

Cheesy Sausage Puff Pastry Rolls 

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
• 4-5 sausages (pork, chicken, or vegetarian)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
• 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp Dijon or yellow mustard (optional)
• 1 tsp dried herbs (such as thyme, oregano, or parsley)
• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sesame seeds or poppy seeds for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

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

2. Prepare the Pastry:

   • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. If using mustard, spread a thin layer over the pastry for added flavor.

3. Assemble the Rolls:

   • Place sausages lengthwise along one edge of the pastry. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the sausages evenly. Add dried herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

4. Roll and Seal:

   • Carefully roll the puff pastry over the sausages, sealing the edge with a little beaten egg. Press down gently to secure.

5. Cut and Prepare:

   • Slice the roll into smaller portions (about 2 inches each) and place them seam-side down on the baking sheet.

6. Egg Wash and Topping:

   • Brush the rolls with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top for extra crunch.

7. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

8. Serve:

   • Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup, mustard, or a spicy aioli.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, try adding caramelized onions or a sprinkle of chili flakes inside.
• These rolls can be frozen before baking for a quick snack later—just bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
