🛒 Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork sausage
- 1/2 small onion, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional topping)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl:
- Combine the ground sausage, grated onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, and egg
- Add parsley, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper
- Mix everything gently until just combined (don’t overmix—this keeps the filling tender and juicy)
👉 Tip: The grated onion adds moisture and flavor without chunks—don’t skip it!
2. Roll Out the Pastry
- Lightly flour your surface and roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle
- Cut it into 2 long strips (or more for smaller rolls)
3. Shape the Rolls
- Divide the sausage mixture into logs and place them along the center of each pastry strip
- Fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edges tightly (use a fork to crimp if you like)
- Place seam-side down
4. Slice & Prep
- Cut into bite-sized pieces or keep them longer for classic rolls
- Arrange on a lined baking tray
5. Egg Wash & Topping
- Brush the tops with beaten egg for that beautiful golden shine
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds for extra texture and flavor
6. Bake to Golden Perfection
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until puffed, crisp, and deeply golden brown
✨ Your kitchen will smell amazing at this point!
