Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Italian sausage meat mild or hot
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- Puff pastry sheets thawed but still cold
Instructions
Make the Filling
- In a large bowl, combine the sausage, eggs and grated cheese. Mix until fully combined. Your hands work best here.
Assemble the Sausage Rolls
- Lay a sheet of cold puff pastry on your work surface.
- Spoon the sausage mixture into a long, even line along one edge.
- Roll the pastry over the filling to tightly for one large log.
- Pinch the seam closed.
- Cut into 1 inch pieces for mini sausage rolls.
- Arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet, sausage side facing up. This allows it to brown nicely.
- Optional: Brush the tops with a beaten egg for a glossy golden finish.
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until
- . the sausage is fully cooked
- . the pastry is puffed and golden
- . the tops have some crispy caramelized cheese bits
To Freeze
- Place unbaked rolls on a parchment lined tray in a single layer. Freeze until solid; 2-3 hours. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.
Bake From Frozen
- Bake at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes, until fully golden and cooked through.
