Sausage Rolls
Flaky, baked puff pastry stuffed with cheesy sausage and potato filling. These British-inspired Sausage Rolls are simple, yet deliciously perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Servings:8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 17-ounce packages puff pastry, thawed
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 pound frozen diced potatoes, thawed
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg, + 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Thaw your puff pastry according to package directions or unroll and thaw on the counter in your kitchen (keep some parchment lining on the pastry to keep it from drying out) for 30 minutes.
- While your puff pastry is thawing, cook the sauce and potatoes. In a large skillet over medium-high heat brown the sausage and potatoes for about 5 minutes using a spatula or wooden spoon to bread up the sausage into crumbles as it cooks. (Sausage does not need to be fully cooked at this point, it will continue cooking in the oven in step 8)
- Season with worcestershire, onion powder, and garlic powder, and give it a good stir over the heat for 1-2 minutes.
- Cut puff pastry sheets in half down the center. Spoon mixture to create mounds of the sausage and potatoes down one side length of the puff pastry dough keeping about 1 inch between scoops.
- Add some shredded cheddar cheese to the top of each sausage and potato mound.
- Fold puff pastry over the mounts and use a fork to crimp the long edge to seal the dough. Cut between each of the mounds. Place each sausage roll on your prepared baking sheet at last two inches apart.
- Whisk together egg and water. Brush over each sausage roll.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until puff pastry is fully cooked and golden and the cheese is melty. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
Cutting the puff pastry: use a pizza cutter for easy, quick, perfect cuts!
Serving: I like to serve these warm, and they are delicious plain or with some ketchup, honey mustard, or salsa (I know it's not authentic, but gosh is it delicious).
Potatoes: frozen shredded hash browns (thawed) will work in this recipe as well!
