Sausages in Puff Pastry with Optional Cheese
Golden puff pastry wrapped around sausages, with optional cheese and sesame.
These sausage rolls wrap ready-to-eat sausages in strips of thawed puff pastry and bake until crisp and golden. Keep the pastry cool while shaping, seal the seams underneath and brush with egg for an even finish. Heat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Lightly flour the work surface and roll pastry to about 3 to 5 mm thick. Cut into strips wide enough to wrap each sausage. Place a sausage, and optional cheese, at one end of a pastry strip. Roll snugly and place seam-side down on the tray. Brush pastry with beaten egg and sprinkle with optional sesame seeds or herbs. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
