Ingredients

500 grams puff pastry - fresh or frozen, thawed
500 grams pork sausages - high-quality, casings removed
2 large egg yolks - free-range
150 grams cheddar cheese - strong, grated
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
30 milliliters Worcestershire sauce - approximately 2 tablespoons
1 large egg - beaten, for egg wash

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it's about 2-3 mm thick. Aim for a rectangle approximately 40 cm x 30 cm.
In a large bowl, combine the sausage meat, egg yolks, grated cheddar, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Divide the sausage mixture into two equal parts. Shape each portion into a log about 30 cm long, placing each along the longer sides of the pastry.
Brush the exposed pastry with beaten egg. Carefully roll up the pastry around the sausage filling, sealing the edges by pressing gently.
Transfer onto the prepared baking sheet, placing the seam side down. Cut each roll into 4 equal pieces. Space them apart to ensure even cooking.
Brush the tops of the rolls with more beaten egg, then bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a sprinkle of nutmeg to the sausage filling. If preferred, opt for vegetarian sausage to suit dietary needs.
