Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your French Onion Sausage Rolls:

  • 1 lb (450g) sausage meat (or ground sausage)
  • 2 medium onions, finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon thyme leaves (fresh or dried)
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (about 10x15 inches)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
  • Optional: ½ cup grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese

Instructions

Prepare the Onion Filling:

  1. Caramelize the Onions: Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, golden brown, and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  2. Add Thyme and Vinegar: Stir in the thyme leaves and balsamic vinegar. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the vinegar has evaporated and the onions are well-coated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Prepare the Sausage Filling:

  1. Cook the Sausage Meat: In a separate pan, cook the sausage meat over medium heat until browned and fully cooked through. Break it apart into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Combine the Sausage and Onions: Once the sausage meat is cooked and the onions have cooled slightly, combine the two in a large bowl. Stir until well mixed. If using cheese, fold it into the mixture at this point.

Assemble the Sausage Rolls:

  1. Prepare the Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into two long rectangles (about 5 inches wide).
  2. Fill the Pastry: Spoon the sausage and onion mixture down the center of each pastry rectangle, leaving a small border on each side.
  3. Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the pastry around the filling to form long, cylindrical rolls. Seal the edges by pressing gently with a fork or pinching the dough together.
  4. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.

Bake the Sausage Rolls:

  1. Bake the Rolls: Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed and the filling is hot.
  2. Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
