Irish Sausage Rolls
Golden, flaky puff pastry envelops savory Irish sausage links to create the ultimate appetizer or new family-favorite snack that fit both casual and formal occasions.
Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 sheet of parchment paper
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 sharp knife
- 1 basting brush
Ingredients
- 8 Irish sausages
- 1 sheet frozen puffed pastry
- 1 whole egg, beaten
Instructions
- Remove the frozen puffed pastry from the freezer and allow to thaw at room temperature, 40-60 minutes.
- Lightly flour your work surface and unfold one sheet of dough. Roll it into a 12"x10" rectangle, then cut it into ??? individual rectangles.
- Place a sausage perpendicularly in the center of the rectangle, fold one side over the sausage, then fold over the other side, pinching the seam together to hold the dough together.
- Turn the rolled sausages seam-side down and cut 4-5 small slits in the top so steam can escape. Repeat with remaining sausage rolls.
- Liberally brush the egg wash all over the top and sides of the dough (you don't need to brush the bottom).
- Bake in the oven until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage registers at least 145 F. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes to cool.
