Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) sausage meat
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (for serving)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds or poppy seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into rectangles, approximately 3 inches by 4 inches.
- Fill the Pastry: Place a spoonful of sausage meat along one edge of each pastry rectangle. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the pastry over the filling to create a log shape, sealing the edges with a little beaten egg.
- Cut and Brush: Cut each roll into smaller pieces (about 2 inches long) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving with Dijon mustard on the side for dipping.
