Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) turkey or beef sausage meat – choose your favorite variety
  • 1 sheet puff pastry – store-bought or homemade (look for a butter-based one)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese – cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, or use plain mustard)
  • 1 egg, for egg wash
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh herbs (optional – parsley, chives, or thyme)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Sauté the Sausage: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the turkey or beef sausage, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add Flavor: Stir in the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
Season: Mix in mustard (if using), herbs, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 2: Roll Out the Pastry

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Shape the Dough: Roll the puff pastry out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch wide strips.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

Add Filling: Place a line of sausage mixture along the center of each strip. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Roll and Seal: Roll the pastry over the filling and press to seal the edge underneath. Cut into individual roll-sized pieces.

Step 4: Bake

Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over each roll for a golden finish.
Bake: Place rolls on the tray and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until puffed and deeply golden.

Step 5: Serve

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. These rolls are best enjoyed warm, with optional dipping sauces like mustard, garlic yogurt, or ketchup.
