Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 8 breakfast sausages (pre-cooked or fully cooked)
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese, cut in half
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: Butter for brushing, sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 8 strips, each about 2 inches wide and 4-5 inches long.
- Assemble: Place half a slice of cheese on each pastry strip. Lay a sausage on top of the cheese and roll the pastry tightly around the sausage, leaving the ends slightly exposed.
- Egg Wash: Place the rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds or brush with melted butter for added flavor.
- Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dips or side dishes.
