Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the sausage meat, onion, garlic, herbs, nutmeg/cinnamon, salt, and pepper. If using cranberries or chestnuts, fold them in.

Roll out the pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a rectangle (roughly 25x30 cm).

Cut into rolls: Slice into individual sausage rolls (about 2–3 inches long).

Glaze: Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
-
Bake: Place the rolls on the tray and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve: Let them cool slightly, then serve warm with mustard, cranberry sauce, or a festive dip.
-
Sprinkle a few sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top before baking.
