Ingredients
- 1 package about 10 ounces of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 pound of your favorite sausage breakfast, Italian, or chicken – you do you!
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg beaten, for egg wash
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Dipping sauces like mustard or ketchup
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Let's get that oven nice and toasty!
Prepare the Sausage Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage, breadcrumbs, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Get those hands in there, mama! Mix it up until everything is well combined.
Roll Out the Puff Pastry:
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. If it's not cooperating, just give it a little pep talk – works like a charm! Cut the puff pastry into strips about 2 inches wide.
Assemble the Rolls:
- Take a good scoop of the sausage mixture and form it into a log shape. Place the sausage log on one end of the puff pastry strip and roll it up. Seal the edge with a bit of the beaten egg – it's like giving your mini rolls a cozy blanket.
Slice and Arrange:
- Carefully slice the rolled-up pastry into mini rolls, about 1 inch wide. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all your mini sausage rolls are ready for their golden transformation.
Egg Wash Magic:
- Brush the tops of your mini sausage rolls with the remaining beaten egg. This step is crucial for that beautiful golden finish. It's like the glitter on top of your kitchen masterpiece!
Bake to Perfection:
- Pop those babies in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they're golden brown and oh-so-flaky. The aroma will have your family gathering in the kitchen faster than you can say "snack time!"
Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the mini sausage rolls cool for a minute or two (if you can wait that long), and then plate them up with your favorite dipping sauces. Watch them disappear and bask in the glory of your kitchen triumph!
