These crispy puff pastry sausage rolls feature a savory herb filling with fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley, wrapped in flaky puff pastry for a perfect snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork sausage
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Optional: 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Optional: Sesame seeds or poppy seeds for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork sausage, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface if needed to about 10×10 inches (25×25 cm).
  4. Optional: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the pastry.
  5. Shape the sausage filling into a long log about 2 inches (5 cm) wide and place it along one edge of the puff pastry sheet.
  6. Roll the pastry tightly around the sausage log, pressing the edge to seal. Use a little water on the edge if needed.
  7. Cut the roll into 8 equal pieces (about 2 inches or 5 cm each). Place them cut-side down on a lined baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
  8. Brush each roll generously with beaten egg. Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top if desired.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the sausage is cooked through (internal temperature 160°F or 71°C).
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If pastry browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Keep ingredients cold for best puff pastry results. Avoid overmixing filling to prevent density. Use a meat thermometer to ensure sausage is fully cooked. For reheating, avoid microwave to keep pastry crisp.
