Ingredients:
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
4 cooked or pre-cooked sausages
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (for garnish)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
Preparation Time
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20–25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a slightly larger rectangle for even thickness.
2. Add Dijon Mustard (Optional):
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the pastry for a tangy twist.
3. Layer the Cheesy Filling:
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the entire pastry sheet.
Add a layer of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
4. Place the Sausages:
Arrange the sausages horizontally on the pastry, leaving enough room to roll the pastry around them.
5. Roll and Slice:
Carefully roll the pastry around the sausages, forming a tight log.
Slice the log into even pieces, about 1.5 inches wide.
6. Prepare for Baking:
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each roll.
Brush the tops and sides with beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish.
Sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or a mix of both for added crunch.
7. Season and Bake:
Lightly season with black pepper and paprika (or smoked paprika).
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
8. Cool and Serve:
Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, honey mustard, or a spicy aioli.
