Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage (beef, chicken, or turkey)
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets, thawed)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Caramelize the onions: In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and add sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Cook slowly for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ground sausage with cooled onions, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix in optional cheese or mustard if desired.
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Assemble the rolls: Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into rectangles (4×6 inches). Place filling on each rectangle and seal edges with a fork. Brush tops with beaten egg.
- Bake: Arrange rolls on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
