Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 4–6 sausages (raw or precooked, depending on preference)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp Dijon or yellow mustard (optional, for flavor)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into strips wide enough to wrap around the sausages (approximately 3–4 inches wide).
- Assemble the Sausage Rolls:
- If desired, spread a thin layer of mustard on each puff pastry strip.
- Place a sausage on the edge of each strip and roll the pastry around it, sealing the edges by pressing gently.
- Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces or leave them whole for larger rolls.
- Add the Finishing Touches:
- Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if using.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Ensure the sausages are cooked through if they were raw.
- Serve:
- Let the sausage rolls cool slightly before serving. Pair them with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or aioli for extra flavor.
