- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated carrot. Cook until the vegetables are softened.
- Add ground pork sausage, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the sausage with a spoon, until the meat is browned and cooked through. Allow the filling to cool.
- Assemble the Sausage Rolls:
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet in half lengthwise.
- Spoon the cooled sausage mixture along the length of each pastry strip. Roll the pastry over the filling to encase it. Seal the edges by pressing with your fingers.
- Cut each long roll into smaller sausage rolls of your desired size.
- Brush with Egg Wash:
- Place the sausage rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Serve:
- Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
These homemade sausage rolls are perfect for a cozy dinner or as a party snack. Feel free to get creative with the filling by adding herbs, spices, or other ingredients of your choice. Enjoy your delicious homemade meal!
