Ingredients

- 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
Preparation Time
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 20–25 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
Instructions
- Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a slightly larger rectangle to ensure even thickness.
- Add the Dijon Mustard (Optional):
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard across the puff pastry for a tangy flavor boost.
- Layer the Cheesy Filling:
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the pastry.
- Follow with a layer of Parmesan cheese, ensuring it’s distributed across the entire sheet.
- Place the Sausages:
- Lay the sausages horizontally across the puff pastry, leaving enough space to roll the pastry snugly around each sausage.
- Roll and Cut:
- Carefully roll the puff pastry around the sausages to form a tight log.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the log into even pieces, about 1.5 inches wide.
- Prepare for Baking:
- Arrange the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each piece.
- Brush the tops and sides of the rolls with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or a combination of both on top for added texture and flavor.
- Season and Bake:
- Lightly season with black pepper and a sprinkle of paprika or smoked paprika.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Pair with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, honey mustard, or a spicy aioli.
Tips for Success
- Thaw Puff Pastry Properly: Ensure the puff pastry is completely thawed but still cold to make it easier to handle.
- Choose the Right Sausages: Opt for pre-cooked sausages for convenience or cook raw sausages beforehand.
- Customize the Filling: Add chopped fresh herbs, caramelized onions, or even a touch of chili flakes for a personalized twist.
