Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 300 grams Hot Italian sausage
• 150 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
• 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle approximately 12x10 inches (if it isn’t pre-rolled).

Step 3

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the hot Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 more minutes until fragrant and softened. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Transfer the sausage mixture to a bowl and stir in the shredded mozzarella, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and let cool slightly.

Step 6

Spread the sausage and mozzarella filling evenly along one edge of the puff pastry, leaving about 1 inch of pastry uncovered at the far edge.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and tablespoon of milk to make an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush the uncovered edge of the pastry with the egg wash and carefully roll the pastry over the filling, tucking and sealing the edges as you go to form a tight roll.

Step 9

Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the entire surface with the egg wash.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, score shallow diagonal slits across the top of the roll to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into portions. Serve warm and enjoy!
