Sausage Rolls

Ingredients

For 12 servings

• 500g sausage meat (or squeeze out of sausages)
• 1 small onion, finely grated
• 1 tsp dried sage
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
• 1 egg, beaten
• Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Mix the sausage meat with the grated onion, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Unroll the pastry and cut it in half lengthways so you have two long strips.

4. 4

   Divide the sausage mixture between the two strips, shaping it into a log down the centre of each.

5. 5

   Brush one edge of the pastry with beaten egg, then roll the pastry over the filling and press to seal. Place seam-side down.

6. 6

   Cut each roll into 6 pieces. Score the tops with a knife, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.

7. 7

   Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed up and deep golden brown.
