Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a skillet over medium heat, cook 6 chopped bacon strips for 4-5 minutes until they begin to crisp.
- Step 2: Add 1 medium finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, sauté for 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Step 3: Remove skillet from heat and transfer bacon mixture to a bowl. Add 1 lb sausage meat, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper, mixing gently to combine.
- Step 4: Roll out each of the 2 puff pastry sheets on a floured surface. Divide sausage mixture evenly and shape into long logs down the center of each sheet.
- Step 5: Fold pastry over the sausage meat and seal edges by pressing firmly, trimming excess pastry if needed.
- Step 6: Place the sausage rolls seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden and sausage meat is cooked through (internal temp 160°F).
- Step 8: Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
