Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet, combine unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 20 minutes until caramelized.
  • Stir in minced garlic, fresh thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • In another skillet, cook Italian sausage until browned, breaking apart as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes).
  • Combine cooked sausage with cooled onion mixture and shredded Gruyère cheese in a mixing bowl.
  • On a floured surface, roll out puff pastry sheets to smooth them out.
  • Cut pastry sheets into rectangles approximately 4 inches by 6 inches.
  • Place spoonfuls of filling at one end of each pastry rectangle, careful not to overfill.
  • Fold the pastry over the filling and press down edges to seal. Crimp with a fork.
  • Place rolls on the baking tray and brush tops with beaten egg.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on them while they bake.
  • Allow rolls to cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

Using quality ingredients and allowing onions to caramelize fully enhances flavor greatly. Ensure pastry edges are sealed to avoid leaks while baking. Space rolls out on the baking tray for even cooking.
