Step 8:
Cut each log into 5 pieces and put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake until they're golden and crispy, around 23-25 minutes.

Split the sausage mix into 4 parts. Shape each part into a log and place down the middle of each pastry rectangle.
Step 5:
Take each puff pastry sheet and cut it in half to make 4 rectangles total.

Mix ground pork, cooled veggie mix, Parmesan, panko, mustard, 1 egg, fennel, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cool in the fridge to make it easier to handle.
Step 3:

Step 2:
Turn your oven on to 400°F.
Step 1:
Let puff pastry thaw on a surface dusted with flour or lined with parchment paper.
Serving and Storage Tips
  • They taste best when they're still warm.
  • You can keep extras in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container. Heat them in the oven so they stay crispy.
Helpful Notes
  • Try using cheddar or Gruyere cheese instead of Parmesan for a different taste.
  • Want some heat? Add a bit of chili flakes to the filling.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

  • Chef James says you can get an even prettier golden crust by brushing the rolls with melted butter before serving.
