Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage (pork, chicken, or turkey)
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets, thawed)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese
- Optional: 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sliced onions. Cook, stirring often, for 20–25 minutes until the onions are golden and caramelized. Stir in the fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the onions to cool completely.
2. In a bowl, mix the ground sausage with the cooled caramelized onions. If using, stir in the grated Gruyère cheese and Dijon mustard.
3. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet in half lengthwise to make 4 rectangles. Divide the sausage mixture evenly and shape it into a log down the center of each pastry strip.
4. Fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edges with a fork. Place the rolls, seam-side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
5. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Bake the Savory French Onion Sausage Rolls for 25–30 minutes, or until they are golden and puffed.
6. Allow the rolls to cool slightly, then slice them into bite-sized pieces. Serve the Savory French Onion Sausage Rolls warm, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
