Step Three: Add Filling

Mini Sausage Rolls Variations
- Onion: You can use fresh minced onion or onion powder if you prefer.
- Pastry: If you can’t find puff pastry, you can use refrigerated pie crust dough.
- Meat: You can use ground breakfast sausage, but you can use any type of ground meat. Ground pork sausage, ground Italian sausage, or even seasoned ground beef. You can also use chicken or turkey sausage.
- Cheese: If you’d like to add cheese to the rolls, choose a low moisture cheese like grated parmesan.
What Dipping Sauce Goes with Sausage Rolls?
These puff pastry rolls are really great all by themselves, but they’re also wonderful served with your favorite dipping sauce recipe, like honey mustard sauce or even a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. This Copycat Chick-fil-a Sauce would be awesome with them as well.
How to Make Them in Advance
After being sliced into portions, place them on a parchment lined baking sheet for about an hour. Once they are frozen solid, transfer them to an air-tight container or a freezer-safe bag for up to a month.
To cook from frozen, brush them with the egg wash and bake until brown, just adding a couple minutes to the cook time.
