Cheesy Sausage Puff Pastry Rolls
🥘 Ingredients (makes ~12 rolls)
- 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought, thawed if frozen)
- 6–8 small sausages (breakfast sausages or cocktail sausages)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Optional: herbs (oregano, thyme, or parsley)
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Knife or pizza cutter
- Pastry brush
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare Puff Pastry
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the sheet into 6–12 rectangles (depending on sausage size).
Step 3: Assemble Rolls
- Place a sausage on each puff pastry rectangle.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the sausage.
- Optional: sprinkle herbs for extra flavor.
- Roll the pastry around the sausage, sealing the edges gently.
Step 4: Egg Wash
- In a small bowl, beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon milk.
- Brush the top of each roll with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.
Step 5: Bake
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until puff pastry is golden and crispy.
Step 6: Serve
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
Tips
- Use pre-cooked sausages if you want faster preparation.
- For extra flavor, add a thin layer of mustard or cream cheese inside the pastry before rolling.
- These rolls can be frozen before baking; just bake them straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
