delicious, cheesy, and easy Cheesy Sausage Puff Pastry Rolls
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Filling:
In a skillet, cook crumbled sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
Mix in onion (if using) and garlic powder. Let cool slightly.
Stir in shredded cheese.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
Spread the sausage and cheese mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll up the pastry tightly like a jelly roll.
Cut into 1–1.5 inch slices and place them cut-side down on the baking sheet.
Brush tops with beaten egg.
4. Bake:
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
Tips:
For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the filling.
These can be made ahead and baked just before serving.
Swap sausage for cooked bacon or ham for a different variation.
If you want, I can also give you a “quick 10-minute version” using pre-cooked sausage and mini puff pastry sheets—perfect for when guests drop by unexpectedly. Do you want me to do that?
