    ✔️ Why you'll love this recipe!

    Here's why this is the best mini sausage roll recipe!

    • Quick and easy to make.
    • Made with store-bought puff pastry.
    • Pepped up store-bought sausage meat.
    • Perfect for Christmas.
    • Freezer Friendly.

    🛒 Ingredients

    Ingredients for mini sausage rolls.
    • Ready Rolled Puff Pastry - Store bought ready-rolled puff pastry is such good quality there is really no need to make your own! You could use shortcrust pastry but the end result won't be quite as flaky and buttery.
    • Sausage Meat - Either buy ready-prepared sausage meat or you can also squeeze the meat out of 6 large sausages.
    • Apple Sauce - adds flavour and sweetness. You could substitute with cranberry sauce.
    • Dry Stuffing Mix - A small 80g pack of dry stuffing mix adds tons of flavour to the sausage rolls. I use sage and onion flavour.
    • Egg - for glazing

    🔪 How to make mini sausage rolls

    The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

    Step 1: In a large bowl mix together the sausage meat, apple sauce, and dry stuffing mix.

    Step 2: Lay your ready-rolled puff pastry sheet onto a board and cut it into 3 equal horizontal slices with a sharp knife.

    Step 3: Equally distribute the sausagemeat into the middle of each horizontal slice of pastry (see picture below), leaving a gap on the top and bottom edges.

    Step 4: Brush the bottom edges with egg then fold the tops over to meet the bottoms. Use a fork to press down the pastry and secure the sausage meat inside.

    Step 5: Cut each long roll into 10-12 equal slices, depending on how small you want your sausage rolls to be. Place on a lined baking sheet (you'll probably need two).

    Step 6: Glaze with an egg and bake for 20 minutes.

    💭 Top tips

    • Make ahead of time and freeze! The best way to do this is to make them up to the point of baking, and then freeze. Open freeze for 2 hours on a baking tray, and then place in a freezer bag or container.
    • Use a really sharp knife to cut the sausage rolls. I find placing the pastry on a wooden board and preparing them on that makes it easier.

    🍴 Serving suggestions

    Serve the sausage rolls with a homemade cranberry sauce dip at a festive buffet or drinks party, alongside devils on horseback, brie and cranberry tear and share bread, chocolate orange tiffin bars, mince pie swirls, and fresh cranberry muffins!

    📖 Variations

    • Swap the apple sauce for onion chutney or cranberry sauce.
    • Prefer using shortcrust pastry? Check out my recipe for shortcrust pastry sausage rolls!
    • Try different flavours of dry stuffing mixes. There are usually lots about around Christmas!
    • Sprinkle poppy or sesame seeds on top before baking. They will stick easily to the egg glaze.
    • Make them vegetarian by replacing the sausage meat with vegetarian sausage.

    🥡 Storage

    Store: The cooked sausage rolls can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Reheat: The mini sausage rolls can be served cold, at room temperature or hot. To reheat, place the sausage rolls on a baking sheet and place in a hot oven for 3-4 minutes. You can also reheat them in an air fryer.

    Freeze: The sausage rolls can be frozen unbaked or baked for up to 3 months. If freezing unbaked there is no need to defrost them before baking. Just pop them straight into the oven and add a few minutes to the cooking time.

    ❓ FAQs

    How do you reheat mini sausage rolls?

    Preheat the oven to 220c (200 fan). Place the mini sausage rolls onto a lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 3-4 minutes.

    Can you microwave mini sausage rolls?

    Microwaving sausage rolls causes the pastry to become soft and soggy. It's much better to reheat them in a hot oven or air fryer to keep the pastry crisp.
