Description
Savory French Onion Sausage Rolls are a delicious treat made with ground sausage and sautéed onions, wrapped in flaky puff pastry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground sausage (Italian or breakfast sausage)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package (1 sheet) puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the chopped onion. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground sausage with the sautéed onion mixture. Mix until well combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry into rectangles, approximately 4 inches by 6 inches.
- Place a generous tablespoon of the sausage mixture along one edge of each pastry rectangle. If using, sprinkle a little mozzarella cheese on top of the sausage mixture.
- Roll the pastry over the filling to create a log shape, sealing the edges with a fork.
- Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to give them a golden color while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture.
- To make these rolls vegetarian, substitute the sausage with a plant-based sausage alternative and ensure the puff pastry is vegan-friendly.
