Sausage Rolls
Sausage Rolls are savory pastries filled with ground pork sausage mixed with sautéed onion, garlic, parsley, and breadcrumbs wrapped in puff pastry. The rolls bake to a flaky golden brown with a juicy pork center. They work well as appetizers, snacks, or casual meals.
Ingredients
- 17.3 ounces puff pastry 1 box
- ½ medium onion diced
- 1 tablespoon butter salted
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 large egg divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium skillet, cook the onion and butter over medium heat until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, add the raw sausage, the cooled onion mixture, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, and one large egg. Mix well.
- Roll each sheet of puff pastry into a 10 x 12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut each in half so you have four 5 x 12-inch rectangles.
- Spoon ¼ of the pork mixture down the length of each sheet of puff pastry.
- Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl.
- Roll the pastry around the sausage to form a log, brushing the edge with egg to seal. Pinch the seam closed.
- Cut each log into 4 pieces, 3 inches long and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each with the remaining egg mixture.
- Bake the sausage rolls for 20 to 22 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling reaches 165°F.
- Cool 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Prepare sausage rolls ahead and freeze on a baking sheet before baking; then store in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
- Leftovers keep refrigerated for 3 days and freeze well for up to 3 months.
