Ingredients

• 1 lb sausage meat

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Step-by-step Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked onion mixture with the sausage meat. Mix well to combine.
5. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 4 equal rectangles.
6. Divide the sausage mixture into 4 portions and shape each portion into a log. Place a log of sausage mixture onto each pastry rectangle.
7. Roll up the pastry around the sausage mixture, sealing the edges with a bit of water. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
10. Let the sausage rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
