Description
Golden, flaky sausage roll muffins with a juicy seasoned sausage filling baked in a muffin tin for an easy, handheld twist on the classic sausage roll.
Ingredients
- Puff pastry sheets: 2 sheets, thawed
- Sausage meat: 500 g
- Breadcrumbs: 1/2 cup (about 50 g)
- Onion: 1 small, finely chopped
- Egg: 1, lightly beaten (for the filling)
- Dried herbs: 1 tsp mixed herbs
- Salt: to taste
- Pepper: to taste
- Egg (for brushing): 1, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mix 500 g sausage meat, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 small finely chopped onion, 1 lightly beaten egg, 1 tsp dried herbs, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 6 squares slightly larger than the muffin cups, for a total of 12 squares.
- Assemble the Dish: Press each pastry square gently into a muffin cup, spoon the seasoned sausage mixture into each lined cup, and fold the pastry edges over the filling.
- Cook to Perfection: Brush the tops of each assembled muffin with the beaten egg for a glossy finish, then bake at 200°C (400°F) for 25 to 30 minutes until puffed and golden.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from the oven and let the muffins rest in the tin for a few minutes to set, then carefully transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite dips or a simple side salad, enjoy straight away or cool for storage.
Notes
- Use good-quality sausage meat for the best flavor and texture.
- Brush with egg wash for a shiny, golden crust.
- Assemble ahead and refrigerate uncooked for up to 24 hours, or freeze baked muffins for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in the oven to restore crispness rather than using the microwave.
