Here’s a delicious recipe for Cheesy Sausage Puff Pastry Rolls—a savory, cheesy snack wrapped in golden, flaky puff pastry. These rolls are perfect for parties, appetizers, or just a tasty treat to enjoy at any time!

Ingredients:

1 package (17.3 oz) puff pastry sheets (usually 2 sheets per package, thawed if frozen)
1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage (or any sausage of your choice)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of your favorite cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg (for egg wash)
Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the sausage filling:

In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the sausage is browned and fully cooked.
Once the sausage is cooked, drain any excess fat if needed. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the sausage mixture.
Let the sausage mixture cool for a few minutes, then mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan (if using). Set aside.

2. Prepare the puff pastry:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a clean surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets. If they’re not already the right size, roll them out gently with a rolling pin to smooth the creases.
Cut each sheet of puff pastry into even rectangles (about 3-4 inches wide, depending on the size you prefer for your rolls).

3. Assemble the rolls:

Spoon a generous amount of the sausage and cheese mixture onto the center of each puff pastry rectangle.
Roll the pastry over the filling to form a log or cylinder, sealing the edges by pressing lightly. Make sure the filling is fully enclosed.
Repeat with the remaining pastry sheets and filling.

4. Prepare the egg wash:
