Ingredients

1 Package Puff Pastry thawed, store-bought puff pastry 1 package with 2 ready to bake sheets, 17.3 ounce box
1 pound Ground Pork Sausage or substitute with Italian sausage
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese grated
2 Ounces Cream Cheese softened
1 Large Egg beaten
Optional: Sesame Seeds to sprinkle on top before baking
Optional: Honey mustard sauce marinara sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

1 Package Puff Pastry

In a large bowl, mix the ground sausage, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined. This will be your flavorful sausage filling.
1 pound Ground Pork Sausage, 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder, 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder, 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese, 2 Ounces Cream Cheese
Assemble the Sausage Rolls. Place equal portions of the sausage mixture down the center of each rectangle, shaping them into sausage logs.
Fold the edges of the pastry over the sausage filling, overlapping slightly. Place the roll seam side down on the parchment paper-lined baking tray.
Using a sharp knife, slice each log into desired sizes, typically 1-2 inches for bite-sized pieces.
Baking the Rolls. Brush the tops of each roll with the remaining egg wash to achieve a golden, shiny finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.

Air Fryer Method. Place the rolls in a single layer in a preheated air fryer at 375°F. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until puffed and golden.
