These crispy Irish sausage rolls feature flaky puff pastry wrapped around a savory, well-seasoned sausage filling, perfect for quick snacks or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) Irish sausages, casings removed
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed if frozen
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove the sausages from their casings. In a mixing bowl, combine sausage meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
  3. Roll out puff pastry sheets slightly on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness. Cut each sheet in half lengthwise to create long rectangles.
  4. Divide the sausage mixture evenly along the center of each pastry strip, forming a long sausage shape.
  5. Fold the pastry over the filling and press edges together. Seal edges firmly with fingers or a fork.
  6. Cut each roll into 3-4 pieces and place seam-side down on the baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  7. Brush the tops generously with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown and sausage is cooked through (internal temperature 160°F / 70°C).
  9. Let rolls rest for 5 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to crisp further.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold until baking to ensure flakiness. Seal edges well to prevent filling leakage. Use egg wash for a shiny golden crust. Tent with foil if browning too quickly. Let rolls rest before serving to avoid burning mouth.
