Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheets onto a clean surface. Cut each sheet in half lengthwise, creating two long rectangles.
- Place a generous amount of the sausage mixture along the length of each pastry rectangle, forming a long sausage shape.
- Brush one edge of the pastry with the beaten egg. Roll the pastry over the sausage, pressing lightly to seal the edges together. Repeat with the remaining pastry and sausage mixture.
- Cut each long roll into smaller sausage rolls, about 2 inches in length. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
- Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp, and the sausage is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let the sausage rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
