Cranberry Sage Sausage Rolls
Course Appetizer
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Pastry Brush

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, chopped dried cranberries, fresh sage, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed.
  • Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it in half lengthwise to form two long rectangles. Divide the sausage mixture in half and shape each portion into a long log along the center of each pastry rectangle.
  • Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal. Cut each roll into four equal pieces and place them seam side down on the baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops of each piece with the beaten egg. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastry is golden and the filling reaches 160 degrees inside.

Notes

Chop the cranberries small so they distribute evenly without tearing the pastry during rolling. If the filling feels too wet, drain any excess liquid from the sausage before mixing. These rolls reheat well in a 350 degree oven for five minutes to restore crispness.
