Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 lb pork sausage meat, the sautéed onion and garlic, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp thyme leaves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Roll out 2 puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each into 4 equal rectangles. Place a line of sausage mixture along the long edge of each rectangle, about 1 inch thick.
  4. Step 4: Brush the edges of the pastry with some of the beaten egg from 1 large egg. Roll each pastry over the filling tightly and seal the edges by pressing firmly.
  5. Step 5: Place the sausage rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg to achieve a golden crust.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the sausage filling is cooked through.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
