ingredients

  • 1 lb (500g) Schneiders® Country Naturals® Hot Sicilian Countryside Sausage, casings removed
  • 1 cup (250 mL) Grated Parmesan cheese
  • .25 cup (60 mL) Chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 (397 g) Package Tenderflake® Frozen Puff Pastry, defrosted overnight in the refrigerator
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) Water
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) Course salt

directions

  1. PREHEAT oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. PLACE sausage meat, parmesan cheese and parsley in a large mixing bowl. Gently mix to combine. Set aside.
  3. ROLL each puff pastry on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 10"x14" (25×35 cm) rectangle. Cut each rectangle into six squares.
  4. DIVIDE the sausage mixture equally between each pastry square. Fold in half and pinch the edges to seal in filling. Use a sharp knife to make a small slit in top of each roll to allow steam to escape while cooking. Transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Whisk together egg yolk and water in a small bowl. Brush over each pastry and sprinkle with salt. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until crisp and golden and the internal temperature of each roll reaches 160°F (71°C).
