• servings: 20 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 tbsp. vegetable oil

1 yellow onion, chopped

1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided

2 large eggs, divided

1 lb. ground pork

1/2 c. panko bread crumbs

1 1/2 tsp. dried rubbed sage

1 tsp. dried thyme

1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1/2 tsp. grated fresh nutmeg

All-purpose flour, for dusting

1 (17.3-oz.) pkg. frozen puff pastry, thawed

1 tbsp. cold water

Whole-grain mustard, for serving (optional)

Directions

In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and 1/2 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool.

In a large bowl, whisk 1 egg until blended. Add pork, panko, sage, thyme, pepper, nutmeg, remaining 1 tsp. salt, and cooled onion mixture. Mix with your hands until combined.

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 sheet of puff pastry to a 10" x 10" square, then cut in half lengthwise to yield 2 (10" x 5") rectangles.

Divide chilled pork mixture into 4 (6-oz.) portions. Shape 1 portion into a 10" log and arrange down the middle of a pastry rectangle. Lift one side of pastry over pork, then repeat with opposite side, pressing to adhere. Pinch ends together to seal. Roll log seam side down and transfer to prepared sheet.

Repeat with a second portion of pork mixture and second pastry rectangle, then repeat process with remaining puff pastry sheet and sausage mixture. Refrigerate logs until cold, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°. In a small bowl, whisk water and remaining 1 egg.

Using a sharp knife, trim edges of logs, then cut each log crosswise into 5 (2") pieces. Brush with egg wash, then slash top of each roll twice on a diagonal.

Bake sausage rolls until pastry is golden brown and crisp, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool at least 5 minutes on baking sheet. Serve warm with mustard alongside (if using).
