Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 400 g sausage meat
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow even cooking.
- Prepare pastry strips: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into long strips suitable for wrapping the sausage meat.
- Assemble sausage rolls: Place a thin line of sausage meat along the length of each pastry strip. Lightly season the meat with salt and black pepper. Roll the pastry tightly around the sausage meat, ensuring the seam is placed on the underside to seal.
- Cut and glaze: Cut the rolled pastries into bite-sized pieces. Brush each piece generously with the beaten egg to achieve a shiny golden crust once baked. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the prepared sausage rolls on the lined tray and bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes or until the pastry is puffed up and deeply golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set and avoid burning. Serve warm as a delicious party appetizer.
Notes
- Ensure the sausage meat is evenly distributed for consistent cooking.
- Use good quality puff pastry for best flakiness.
- Sesame seeds are optional but add a nice crunch and visual appeal.
- These sausage rolls can be reheated in the oven to retain their crispiness.
- Feel free to add herbs or spices to the sausage meat to customize flavor.
