Ingredients:
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 sausages (cooked or pre-cooked)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 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
Instructions:
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is slightly larger and even in thickness.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the puff pastry for an extra tangy flavor (optional).
- Place the sausages lengthwise along the edge of the pastry. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the sausages and pastry. Add a light layer of grated Parmesan for extra richness.
- Roll the pastry tightly around the sausages, sealing the edges by brushing with a bit of beaten egg.
- Cut and Season:
- Slice the rolled pastry into evenly sized pieces (about 4–6 rolls per sausage). Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds, black pepper, and paprika over the top for a flavorful crust.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. The cheese should be melted and bubbling.
- Serve:
- Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. They pair perfectly with ketchup, mustard, or a creamy dipping sauce.
