Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium heat (about 375°F). In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork sausage, 1 small finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
  2. Step 2: Roll out 2 puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface into 10x12 inch rectangles. Divide sausage mixture evenly, spreading it in a 2-inch wide log down the center of each pastry sheet.
  3. Step 3: Brush edges of the pastry with 1 beaten egg, then carefully fold pastry over filling and press edges to seal. Cut each log into 5 equal pieces and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Brush the tops with remaining beaten egg. Grill the sausage rolls for 6-8 minutes per side on medium heat until pastry is puffed, golden, and sausage is cooked through.
  5. Step 5: While grilling, whisk together 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp lemon juice to make the mustard aioli.
  6. Step 6: Serve the warm sausage rolls with the mustard aioli on the side for dipping.
