How to Make the BEST Sausage Rolls Recipe

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Sausage Rolls: Breakfast sausage, puff pastry, large eggs, white bread, milk, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, seasoned salt, onion powder, chopped green onions and hot sauce.
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: Large sheet pan, medium bowl, small bowl, pastry brush, measuring cups and spoons, sharp knife and cutting board.
  • Puff pastry is simple to work with but, it’s imperative you follow the directions on the package regarding how to properly thaw the dough.
  • These sausage rolls are made using raw sausage, not precooked. Because of this, it’s important to use a quality lean breakfast sausage for the best results. A lower quality sausage will result in greasy sausage rolls.
  • Once baked, allow the rolls to rest on the pan before slicing to allow some of the steam to escape. This will help when cutting them into portions to serve.
  • If you have any concerns about the bottom of the puff pastry collecting more fat than you like, carefully move the rolls onto doubled paper towels to rest for a few minutes to absorb any excess.
  • For a timesaver, the filling can be made one day in advance, placed into an airtight container and chilled until assembling the rolls. Likewise, the entire recipe can also be assembled and chilled until you’re ready to bake. In that instance, brush with the egg wash just before baking.
  • If preferred you can mix it up using a whole grain or a milder mustard in place of the Dijon mustard.
  • Store baked Sausage Rolls tightly wrapped in foil chilled in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in single servings in the microwave or in a 350°F air fryer or oven for a few minutes just until crisped and heated through.

  1. Hi Barb, I really don’t know, I’ve always used puff pastry for these. Since the sausage cooks inside of the pastry, I would think the delicate nature of phyllo wouldn’t hold up as well. Also, it is a MUST that you use a good lean sausage for these for the best end result. If you try it with phyllo, let me know how it goes.
