Sausage Rolls
Description
This Sausage Rolls recipe uses ground pork sausage blended with finely cooked onion and fresh or dried sage for seasoning. The filling is shaped into logs and wrapped in puff pastry strips that have been lightly dusted with flour to prevent sticking. A beaten egg is brushed on the pastry edges for sealing and to promote browning.
Baked at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, the pastry turns crisp and golden while the sausage mixture cooks through and stays juicy inside. The combination of aromatic sage, savory pork, and flaky puff pastry offers a classic taste and texture contrast. The rolls can be served warm or chilled as a snack or part of a meal.
This recipe yields approximately 28 pieces, suitable for multiple servings. It is recommended to defrost puff pastry properly before assembling. Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator preserves quality for up to four days, and reheating gently is advised for best texture.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 pound ground pork sausage (see note 1)
- 1 tablespoon sage minced, or 1/2 teaspoon ground dried, fresh leaves
- 2 large egg divided
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- all-purpose flour for rolling out pastry dough
- 1 (17.5-ounce) box puff pastry thawed (2 sheets, see note 2, frozen
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with foil or parchment paper and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to lightly brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl.
- Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Using a sharp knife, cut each sheet of puff pastry in half to form long strips. Refrigerate pastry until ready to form rolls.
- To the bowl with the cooked onion, add uncooked sausage, sage, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Mix until well-combined.
- Form 1/4 of the sausage mixture into a log shape down the center of one pastry rectangle (lightly dampen hands if sausage mixture becomes sticky or difficult to form). Repeat with remaining sausage and puff pastry.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg until beaten. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of each sheet. Fold the pastry over the sausage filling to form long rolls. Flip the sausage rolls over so they are seam-side-down.
- Using a sharp knife, cut rolls into pieces about 1 1/2-inch in size and evenly arrange pieces on prepared baking sheets seam-side down (if rolls are difficult to cut, return to the refrigerator and chill). Brush the top of each roll with egg wash.
- Place sheets in oven and bake until rolls become golden brown, about 20 minutes. Rotate sheets after 10 minutes of baking to ensure even coloring on rolls. Serve immediately warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use seasoned ground pork sausage typical for English style; ground beef or blends can be substituted.
- Defrost puff pastry overnight in the refrigerator or briefly at room temperature (under 40 minutes) before use.
- This recipe makes about 28 sausage roll pieces, serving 14 as snacks or 7 as meals.
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
