Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine 1 lb pork sausage meat, 1 small finely chopped onion, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper; mix until just combined.
  2. Step 2: Roll out each of the 2 puff pastry sheets on a floured surface into rectangles roughly 10x8 inches. Divide the sausage mixture evenly down the center of each sheet in a log shape about 2 inches wide.
  3. Step 3: Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg from 1 large egg. Fold the pastry over the sausage filling to encase it completely and press edges firmly to seal.
  4. Step 4: Cut each roll into 6 equal pieces and place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush the tops with remaining beaten egg.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden brown and sausage is cooked through with juices running clear. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
