Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 pound bulk sausage breakfast sausage or your favorite
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 egg whisked
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Remove the sausage from the casing if necessary, and mix it with the garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped parsley.
- Lay the sheet of puff pastry out in front of you and add the sausage on top of the pastry, along one edge. Make a long snake of sausage, running the length of the pastry. The sausage should be about 1-inch in diameter.
- Roll the puff pastry up and over the top of the sausage meat and keep rolling so that the seams overlap.
- Cut the rest of the sheet of puff pastry away and set aside for a moment.
- Gently press the long sausage-filled puff pastry tube to seal the bottom edges. Transfer the puff pastry tube carefully to the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining sausage and pastry.
- Freeze the puff pastry tubes for about 20 minutes. You don't want to freeze them solid, just firm them up so they're easier to cut.
- Preheat your oven to 425-F.
- Whisk the egg in a bowl until well mixed and brush the egg over the top of the hardened - but not frozen - puff pastry tubes.
- Cut the puff pastry tubes into 1/2 to 1-inch thick bites and stand the sausage rolls up on the baking sheet. Leave some room between them. Press them down gently to stay standing if necessary.
- Bake the sausage rolls in a 425-F oven for about 15 minutes or until they're puffed and golden brown.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Keep your puff pastry in the fridge until the last minute. It is much easier to work with if it is very cold.
- Use good quality sausage that's not too fatty. I like Oktoberfest or even breakfast sausage.
- This sausage roll recipe makes about 2-dozen rolls. It's easy to double.
