Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 25 mins | Total Time: 45 mins
Servings: 12–15 rolls

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) sausage meat (pork, turkey, or your favorite)
• 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
• Stir in chopped onion and garlic. Cook 3–4 minutes until softened.
• Season with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard (if using). Let cool slightly.

2. Assemble the Rolls

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface into a 1/8-inch thick rectangle. Cut into 2-inch wide strips.
• Spoon sausage mixture onto each strip, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
• Roll strips into logs, sealing edges to keep filling inside.

3. Bake

• Whisk egg and brush over rolls for a golden finish.
• Bake 20–25 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden.

4. Serve

• Let cool slightly. Garnish with herbs and serve warm with dipping sauce!

Pro Tips

• Quick hack: Use pre-rolled puff pastry to save time.
• Drain fat: Pat cooked sausage with paper towels to avoid soggy pastry.
• Crispy crust: Bake on the oven’s middle rack for even browning.

Variations

• Spicy: Add ½ tsp chili flakes or hot sauce to the filling.
• Veggie-packed: Mix in spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
• Gourmet twist: Swap cheese for blue cheese or smoked Gouda.

Storage

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for 3 days. Reheat in the oven.
• Freeze: Freeze unbaked rolls on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen (add 5–7 mins).

Serving Ideas

• Pair with marinara, ranch, or honey mustard for dipping.
• Serve alongside a crisp green salad or roasted veggies.
