Ingredients
Scale
- 1 roll (approximately 454 g) Jimmy Dean Regular Sausage
- 1 roll (approximately 454 g) Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage
- 1 package frozen puff pastry (approximately 450 g to 500 g, depending on brand)
- 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water, for egg wash
Instructions
- Thaw the frozen puff pastry according to the package directions. It should be pliable enough to unfold without cracking but still cool to the touch.
- Remove the casings if necessary. Place 1 roll (454 g) Jimmy Dean Regular Sausage and 1 roll (454 g) Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until the two flavours are evenly combined.
- Preheat your oven to 375⁰F (190⁰C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet in half lengthwise.
- Divide the sausage mixture into portions. Shape each portion into a long log and place it down the centre of each pastry strip, leaving enough pastry on both sides to fold over the filling.
- Lightly brush one long edge of the pastry with water. Fold the opposite edge over the sausage, bring the moistened edge over it, and overlap the pastry. Press firmly along the seam to seal. Turn each roll seam side down.
- Beat 1 large egg with 1 tbsp water. Brush the tops of the pastry rolls with the egg wash. Cut each long roll into 6 pieces, or make smaller or larger portions depending on how you’d like to serve them.
- Arrange the sausage rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece to allow the pastry to puff. Bake at 375⁰F (190⁰C) for approximately 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and beautifully golden brown.
- Check that the sausage filling has reached an internal temperature of 160⁰F (71⁰C) using a meat thermometer. The pastry should be crisp and cooked through, with no raw dough around the filling.

Additional Information, Tips and Suggestions
- Which puff pastry works best? Frozen puff pastry is convenient and produces lovely flaky layers. Thaw according to the package directions, but keep it cool while assembling. If it becomes too soft or sticky, refrigerate it for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Can I substitute the sausage? If Jimmy Dean isn’t available, use another regular pork breakfast sausage and sage-seasoned sausage. Alternatively, use all regular sausage and add dried sage to taste. Season carefully, as breakfast sausages are already seasoned.
- Can I prepare these ahead? Yes. Assemble the rolls, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Apply the egg wash just before baking.
- How do I know they’re cooked? The pastry should be puffed and crisp, and the sausage filling must reach 160⁰F (71⁰C). Use a meat thermometer rather than relying on pastry colour alone.
- Storage: Refrigerate cooked sausage bites in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in a 350⁰F (175⁰C) oven until heated through to restore some crispness. Avoid storing at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
- Freezing: Freeze completely cooled, baked sausage bites in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. For best quality, use within 2 to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven until piping hot.
- A little extra tip: Don’t overfill the pastry or the seams may open during baking. Place the rolls seam side down on the baking sheet to help keep everything neatly tucked inside.
