Ingredients

• 500 grams pork sausage meat
• 2 puff pastry sheets
• 1 small onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 50 grams breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and garlic. In a large bowl, combine the pork sausage meat, chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl and add half of it to the sausage mixture, reserving the other half for later use.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon until well combined.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out each puff pastry sheet into a rectangle approximately 30cm x 25cm (12 x 10 inches).

Step 6

Divide the sausage mixture into two equal parts and shape each one into a long sausage that matches the length of each pastry rectangle.

Step 7

Place each sausage log along one long edge of the pastry. Brush the opposite edge of the pastry with a bit of the reserved beaten egg.

Step 8

Roll the pastry over the sausage meat, sealing the edge with the egg. Ensure the seam is on the bottom.

Step 9

Brush the tops with some milk and the remaining beaten egg to give a golden finish.

Step 10

Cut each roll into 4 even pieces or to the desired size and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the sausage is cooked through.

Step 12

Let the sausage rolls cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm or at room temperature.
