Ingredients:
- 1 lb lamb sausage
- 2 sheets (17 oz) boxed puff pastry
- 2 eggs, divided
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 cloves garlic
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Defrost puff pastry according to package directions.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix together sausage, bread crumbs, 1 egg, thyme, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Divide into 6 equal parts. Set aside on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut each of the 3 long rectangle sections in half lengthwise. Brush the top sides with mustard. Place 1 piece of the sausage on top of the mustard and roll it up tightly, overlapping the end by 1/2 inch. Cut off any excess pastry and seal the edge by brushing with water. Repeat with remaining pastry and sausage.
- Place the rolls, seam side down, on the lined baking sheet. Score each roll diagonally in 6 equal portions about 2 inches apart. In a small bowl, whisk egg and water, then lightly brush on top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden. Slice along the score marks and serve with additional Dijon mustard, if desired.
