Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry Rolls
Preheat the oven:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Prepare the puff pastry:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut the puff pastry into rectangles large enough to wrap each sausage.
Assemble the rolls:
Spread 60g tomato sauce evenly over each piece of puff pastry.
Place one sausage on each piece of puff pastry.
Sprinkle grated cheese over the sausage.
Roll the puff pastry around the sausage, sealing the edges.
Brush with egg wash:
Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg to ensure a golden color when baked.
Bake the rolls:
Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy.
Step 2: Prepare the Mustard Butter Sauce
Combine ingredients:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 150g soft butter.
Add 15g chopped scallions and 6g minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in 20g mustard and 20g mustard seeds. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Serve the sauce:
Transfer the sauce to a small serving bowl and set aside for dipping.
Step 3: Serve
Remove the puff pastry rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve the Sausage and Cheese Puff Pastry Rolls warm with the Mustard Butter Sauce on the side for dipping.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with a side salad for a light meal.
Pair with a spicy ketchup or barbecue sauce for added flavor.
Enjoy with a cold beer or iced tea for a refreshing pairing.
Serve as part of a party platter with other finger foods.
Add a side of pickles or olives for a savory contrast.
Cooking Tips:
Seal the edges well to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking.
Use cold puff pastry for easier handling and better puffing in the oven.
Brush with egg wash generously to get a nice golden color on the pastry.
Adjust the amount of cheese based on your preference—more cheese for a richer filling.
Add some herbs like oregano or thyme to the mustard butter sauce for extra flavor.
