Ingredients

2 frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
1 lb bulk pork sausage (or links with casings removed)
1/2 yellow onion, finely grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
2 tsp sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

In a bowl, combine 1 lb bulk pork sausage (or links with casings removed), 1/2 finely grated yellow onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Mix until just combined - do not overmix.
3

On a lightly floured surface, unfold each 2 thawed frozen puff pastry sheets sheet. Cut each sheet into two equal rectangles.
4

Divide the sausage mixture equally among the pastry rectangles, shaping it into a log along one long edge of each piece.

Brush the opposite long edge with 1 beaten (for egg wash) large egg. Roll the pastry over the sausage and press the seam firmly to seal.
6

Slice each roll into 4-5 equal pieces and place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
7

Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with 2 tsp sesame seeds (optional garnish) if using.
