Cheesy Sausage Puff Pastry Rolls

Time & Yield

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Servings: 12 rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground sausage (or pre-cooked sausages, chopped)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (or oregano)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
  • Flour, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven
    Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cook and season the sausage

    • If using raw ground sausage, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked.
    • Drain excess fat and let it cool slightly.
    • In a bowl, combine sausage with shredded cheese, Italian herbs, and garlic powder.

  3. Roll out the puff pastry
    Lightly flour your surface, then roll the pastry into a 12 × 10 inch (30 × 25 cm) rectangle.

  4. Add filling and roll
    Spread the sausage-cheese mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving about a 1-inch border on one long edge. Roll tightly into a log (jelly-roll style). Brush a little beaten egg along the border to seal.

  5. Slice into rolls
    With a sharp knife, cut into 12 even pieces, about 1 inch thick each.

  6. Egg wash and topping
    Arrange rolls cut-side up on the baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if using.

  7. Bake
    Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown, puffed, and bubbling.

  8. Cool briefly and serve
    Rest for a few minutes before serving so the cheese sets slightly. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Serving Suggestions

  • Offer easy dips like marinara, honey mustard, or spicy mayo.
  • Turn it into a light meal by pairing with a crisp green salad.

Pro Tips for the Best Puff Pastry Sausage Rolls

  • Add extra flavor with finely chopped onion or bell pepper mixed into the filling.
  • Make-ahead option: Assemble, freeze on a tray, then bake from frozen—just add 5–7 minutes to the baking time.
  • Try different cheeses (smoked cheddar, pepper jack, or gouda) for new flavor combinations.
