Ingredients
500g sausage meat
1 sheet puff pastry
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tsp dried sage
0.5 tsp dried thyme
0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp breadcrumbs
Instructions
1. Combine sausage meat, onion, herbs, nutmeg, salt, pepper, mustard, and breadcrumbs in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
2. Lay out puff pastry and roll lightly. Cut lengthwise into two long rectangles.
3. Divide sausage mixture in two, form into logs, and place in the center of each pastry strip.
4. Brush one edge with egg wash, fold over, and seal the edge. Crimp with a fork and slice into mini rolls.
5. Place seam-side down on a baking tray, brush tops with egg wash, and score if desired.
6. Bake at 200 C for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and cooked through. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Keep the puff pastry cold until ready to use for the flakiest texture.
You can assemble the sausage rolls a day ahead and bake them fresh before serving.
Reheat in the oven rather than the microwave to keep the pastry crisp.
