Ingredients
Scale
Filling:
- 1 lb (450g) pork mince (ground pork)
- 1 packet French onion soup mix (or 1 cup sautéed onions + 1 tsp onion powder)
- 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Pastry & Finish:
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed if frozen
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
Optional Extras:
- Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella)
- Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley)
- Chili flakes for spice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to ensure easy clean-up and prevent sticking.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork mince, French onion soup mix (or your homemade onion powder and sautéed onions), tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a flavorful filling.
- Assemble Rolls: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a clean surface and cut each sheet in half lengthwise. Place an even portion of the prepared filling along one long edge of each pastry strip. Carefully roll the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges by moistening them with water or egg wash to keep everything contained during baking.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg and milk together to create an egg wash. Brush this generously over the tops of the rolls to achieve a beautiful golden brown and glossy finish once baked.
- Bake: Arrange the sausage rolls on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each one. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
- Cool & Serve: Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for a few minutes to set. Slice and serve warm, either on their own or paired with your favorite dips and sides.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover sausage rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Freezing: For freezing, place unbaked sausage rolls on a tray to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Reheating: Reheat in the oven to preserve the crispiness of the pastry. Microwaving may cause the pastry to become soggy.
- Variations: Customize your sausage rolls by adding cheese, fresh herbs, or chili flakes to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
- Vegetarian Option: Substitute the pork mince with a mixture of finely chopped mushrooms, cooked lentils, and cheese for a vegetarian-friendly version.
