Instructions
- Prep the Oven & Cook the Sausage
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a skillet over medium heat, warm the oil and add the sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked through. - Season the Filling
Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, Tabasco, thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. - Prepare the Pastry
Carefully unfold the puff pastry and slice each sheet lengthwise into two strips. Lightly brush the edges with the beaten egg to help seal them later. - Fill & Fold
Spoon the sausage mixture along the center of each pastry strip. Fold one long side over the filling to meet the other, pressing the edges together. Use a fork to crimp and seal tightly. - Slice & Brush
Cut each rolled log into four smaller pieces. Brush the tops with milk for a glossy, golden finish when baked. - Bake
Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and beautifully golden. - Serve
Enjoy warm, whether as a hearty snack, appetizer, or part of a comforting meal.
