Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound sausage meat (or your favorite sausage, casings removed)
  • 1 package puff pastry sheets (store-bought for the win!)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash) for that golden finish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) - optional, but highly recommended!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the sautéed onion, sausage meat, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and any fresh herbs using your hands.
  4. Roll out your puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut them into rectangles, roughly 4 inches by 6 inches.
  5. Place a generous spoonful of the sausage mixture at one end of each rectangle, tuck in the edges, and roll up like a burrito. Seal the edges with a fork.
  6. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with the beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and puffed up.
  2. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

If you have extra filling, make mini sausage bites using smaller squares of pastry. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later use. Assemble in advance and refrigerate if desired.
