How to prepare

1
Heat the oven to 200°C conventional or 180°C fan. Line a large baking sheet with parchment and place a rack in the center of the oven.
2
In a large bowl, mix the sausage meat with the grated onion, mustard, sage, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until evenly combined. Do not overwork the mixture, or the filling may become dense.
3
Unroll the chilled puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it lengthwise into two rectangles, each about 16 cm wide. Divide the sausage mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a log along the center of a pastry rectangle.
4
Brush one long pastry edge of each rectangle with a little beaten egg. Fold the opposite pastry edge over the filling, then bring the brushed edge over it and press firmly to seal. Turn the seams underneath and chill the long rolls for 10 minutes.
5
Cut each chilled log into four equal pieces, giving eight rolls. Arrange them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet with space between each piece, then brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.

6
Bake for 23–25 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through, until the pastry is deeply golden and puffed and the sausage filling reaches 74°C at the center.
7
Cool the rolls on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Serve warm or cool completely before storing.

Why this recipe works

Cold puff pastry creates crisp layers while the fatty sausage filling stays juicy; mustard, sage, and nutmeg add the savory warmth associated with a classic British sausage roll.
