🛒 Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil

  • ½ medium onion (about 50 g), finely chopped

  • 1 tbsp (15 g) minced garlic

  • 250 g pork sausage (casings removed)

  • 200 g ground beef

  • 100 g panko breadcrumbs

  • 1 egg (for the filling)

For Assembly:

  • 300 g puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 egg (for brushing)

  • 1 tbsp (10 g) sesame seeds (optional, for topping)


🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics:
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, then cook until fragrant and lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Make the filling:
    In a large bowl, combine pork sausage, ground beef, sautéed onion and garlic, panko breadcrumbs, and one beaten egg. Mix well until evenly blended.

  3. Prepare the pastry:
    Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it lengthwise into two long strips.

  4. Assemble the rolls:
    Spoon a line of the meat mixture along one edge of each pastry strip. Roll tightly, sealing the edge with a little beaten egg.

  5. Cut and top:
    Slice into smaller rolls, about 5–6 cm each. Place them seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds.

  6. Bake to perfection:
    Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35–40 minutes, or until beautifully golden and crisp.

  7. Serve & enjoy:
    Let the sausage rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature — perfect for snacks, parties, or afternoon tea! ☕


💡 Pro Tips

✨ Add a pinch of dried thyme or smoked paprika to the filling for a delicious aroma and extra depth of flavor.
✨ Make ahead! You can assemble the rolls, freeze them raw, and bake straight from frozen — just add 5–10 minutes to the baking time.
✨ For a glossy, bakery-style finish, brush twice with egg wash (once before chilling, once before baking).

Q: What’s the best way to reheat sausage rolls?
A: Pop them in a 180°C (350°F) oven for 10 minutes. They’ll crisp right back up!

Q: Can I make these vegetarian?
A: Sure! Substitute the meats with your favorite plant-based mince and adjust seasoning to taste.

Q: Do I need to prick the pastry?
A: Not necessary for this recipe — the rolls puff up beautifully on their own.
