🛒 Ingredients
1 lb (450g) pork sausage meat or high-quality sausage links (casings removed)
1 medium onion, finely chopped or caramelized
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (sharp or mature works best)

👩🍳 How to Make Cheese and Onion Sausage Rolls
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, finely chopped (or caramelized) onion, grated cheese, herbs, and seasoning. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
Tip: For deeper flavor, sauté the onions first until golden and sweet before mixing them in.
Step 2: Roll and Fill
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it lengthwise into two long rectangles.
Place a line of the sausage mixture down the center of each strip, shaping it into a log. Brush one long edge with the beaten egg, then fold the pastry over the filling to seal. Press down gently with a fork along the seam.
Step 3: Slice and Score
Cut each long roll into smaller sausage rolls (about 2–3 inches each). Score the tops lightly with a knife for that bakery-style finish. Place them seam-side down on a lined baking tray.
Step 4: Egg Wash and Bake
Brush each roll with the remaining beaten egg for a glossy golden crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
🧀 Variations & Add-Ons
Add a dollop of Dijon or English mustard inside for a spicy edge
Swap cheddar for gruyère, mozzarella, or even blue cheese
Try vegetarian sausage for a meat-free version
Mix in finely chopped spinach or leeks for extra greens
🧊 Storage & Reheating
Store cooled sausage rolls in the fridge for up to 3 days
Reheat in the oven for 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to restore crispness
Freeze unbaked or baked rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 months—just bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes
