Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine 1 lb pork sausage mince, 1 small finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp ground sage, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Step 2: On a lightly floured surface, roll out 2 thawed puff pastry sheets into rectangles about 12x10 inches. Divide the sausage mixture evenly down the center of each pastry sheet in a log about 2 inches wide.
  3. Step 3: Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten 1 egg, then fold the pastry over the sausage filling and press edges firmly to seal, trimming any excess pastry. Cut each roll into 6 equal pieces and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Step 4: Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the remaining egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the sausage filling is cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving warm as a savory snack or light meal.
