Author: Emily Leary
Recipe type: Lunches and quick-cook meals
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 320g (11 oz) Just-Rol puff pastry sheet
- 8 frozen vegetarian Lincolnshire style sausages
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Prepare a floured surface and your ingredients - the sausages can still be frozen but the pastry must just be chilled
- Unroll the pastry, leaving the backing sheet on for now
- With a sharp knife, score into 8 equal pieces
- Line up a sausage (still frozen) with the edge of the a pastry square and roll slightly, then press along the edge
- Continue rolling and press the pastry along the seam
- Place on a non stick baking tray, seam down and repeat until all 8 are wrapped. Note: we found a pastry was a smidgen longer than each sausage, so we rimmed with a knife before placing on the tray
- Slash each roll three times diagonally with a sharp knife
- Brush each roll with a little beaten egg
- Bake at 220C/430F (200C/390F fan assisted) for 20 minutes or until golden and well puffed
I warn you, these are very moreish, so put them away in an airtight container in the fridge as soon as they’re cool or there will be none left for lunch.
Planning this for Book Club! Do the sausages need to be frozen?
Thank you!
Hi :) Chilled should work fine, just keep an eye on the timing as obviously they will take less time to get to an initial heated point.
Can’t wait to make these! Simple, fun and super yummy! Thanks much for sharing. Oh, btw, I never have ‘posted’ on a recipe site before. I totally know and agree with you and I’m glad you responded to the ‘skin’ on sausage comment.
Thanks Beth!
a very tasty and very quick sausage roll. My kids love them.
I saw on masterchef that if you eggwash before slashing then the pastry puffs up more.
I did that yesterday and it looks even better.
Thanks for the idea x
This is a great idea. I like buying the veggie sausage rolls but I dont like the fact that most of them have a bunch of junk in the white flour part, so maybe I can even try to make my own pastry. Thanks!!
Ooo now I ate my first veggie sausage this week and loved it! All I need now is an oven and I’ll be set for these. Scamp adored the veggie sausages so one day *prays to the oven gods* we’ll make these.
Cool idea for a lunch box :D
(ps. *ping* )
Must try these, my mouth is watering!
I saw Lorraine Pascale do something similar with sausages. I was always taught to use sausage meat or take the skin off the sausages which makes the sausage rolls easier to bite into. But I guess if you are using frozen sausages that is not going to be so easy!
:) we’ve made these since I was little. You don’t need to take the skin off veggie sausages as they don’t really have a skin like meat sausages.
Perfect packed lunch food.
