Ingredients

1 lb pork sausage i.e. Jimmy Dean
2 large eggs divided use
3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp seasoned salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp hot sauce optional
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
3-4 medium green onions finely chopped
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (1/2 of 17.3 oz box) thawed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To the bowl add the pork sausage, panko breadcrumbs, 1 beaten egg, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, seasoned salt, black pepper, onion powder and hot sauce. Mix well. After the mixture is fully combined, add the chopped green onions, stir to evenly distribute.
Thaw the puff pastry per the directions on the package. On a lightly floured surface roll out the puff pastry to approximately a 14-inch square and use a sharp knife to divide through the middle cutting into two even pieces.
Divide the sausage mixture in half. Arrange down the middle of each puff pastry section.
Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash, reserving some for the exterior.
Fold the puff pastry over the filling, then roll once ending seams side down.
Carefully move the sausage rolls to the parchment lined baking pan and place seam side down for baking. Smooth and shape evenly.
Score the top at 1-inch intervals with a sharp knife. Brush on all sides with remaining egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F.
Continue to bake for an additional 50 minutes or until golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
Allow to rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then use a sharp knife to cut into portions along the scored lines.
Serve warm with Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard or sweet hot mustard on the side for dipping.

Notes

Protein - You can use turkey sausage or Italian sausage in place of pork sausage. Mild Italian sausage includes fennel seed and spicy sausage for a little kick. Turkey sausage can be drier, so add 1/4 cup milk to the mixture for moisture.
Onion - You can us finely diced shallots or red onion in place of green onions.
Fresh Herbs - You could add rosemary, chopped sage, thyme, parsley or chives.
Vegetables - While not traditional, you could add sauteed red bell pepper or green bell peppers, celery or finely diced mushrooms to the sausage filling.
Mustard - You could use whole grain mustard or spicy brown mustard in place of Dijon mustard.
Cheese - You could add 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese to the sausage roll mixture.
