Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet puff pastry
Filling
- 8 ounces sausage meat
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For Brushing
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Prepare Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until smooth and evenly about 1/8 inch thick.
- Add Sausage Meat: Season the sausage meat with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then spread it in a long strip along one edge or the center of the puff pastry, depending on your rolling preference.
- Roll Pastry: Starting from the edge with the sausage meat, tightly roll the pastry around the filling to form a log shape, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.
- Cut into Pieces: Brush the surface of the rolled pastry with the beaten egg to help seal and promote browning. Then, cut the roll into bite-sized pieces approximately 1 inch thick.
- Bake: Arrange the cut pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Serve: Let the sausage rolls cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature as delicious party snacks.
Notes
- Ensure the sausage meat is well-seasoned for the best flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry to prevent squashing the rolls.
- These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for 5-7 minutes before serving.
- For a vegetarian alternative, substitute sausage meat with a plant-based filling.
