Cheesy Sausage Puff Pastry Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

• 250g (about 1/2 lb) sausage meat (or remove casing from sausages)

• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)

• 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)

• 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

• 1 tsp dried herbs (like oregano or mixed Italian herbs)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Prepare sausage filling:
   In a bowl, mix the sausage meat with the chopped onion, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.

3. Roll out puff pastry:
   Lightly flour your work surface and roll the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle (about 10×12 inches).

4. Assemble:
   Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border on all sides. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the sausage layer.

5. Roll and seal:
   Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the puff pastry up into a tight log. Press the edges to seal the roll.

6. Slice:
   Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into about 12 even pieces.

7. Egg wash:
   Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash for a golden finish.

8. Bake:
   Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden, and the sausage is cooked through.

9. Cool slightly and serve:
   Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Perfect as a snack or appetizer!
