Easy Puff Pastry Sausage Rolls

Great tasting sausage rollsUsed cumberland sausage links, they melt in your mouth.

I kept it simple and followed the recipe this time. I did add ten minutes to the baking time. There is alot of potential to this and customizing it to make our taste buds very happy 😊

It would have been helpful if the recipe submitter had indicated what type of “sausage links” to use or at least give you some suggestions in the recipe description. I wouldn’t think the intent was for breakfast sausage links, because the recipe recommended a salad to complete the meal. The recipe title is “rolls,” but the instructions tell you to put the second piece of pastry on the top of the sausage/pastry and press the pastry edges together to seal. If you didn’t roll it around the sausage, it would end up looking somewhat like a tart or hand pie with a lump in the middle (sorry). If you plan to roll the puff pastry around the sausage, don’t cut into four pieces like I did today. Just cut in half, put the sausage at one end, roll up, tuck in the sides, seal on the bottom, and cook with that side down. This will ensure that your sausage is right in the center of the roll, as well. I used jalapeno chicken sausages, and brushed some spicy mustard on the inside of the pastry before rolling it up. Baked for an extra 5 minutes, but if I make again, I’ll bake for 30 minutes (oven temps vary). I made two rolls for lunch today, but my husband and I would have been satisfied to split one roll (this is a nutritional splurge!). Served with a salad with some strawberries and balsamic dressing. It certainly is easy to make, tasted good, and has lovely presentation.
