    Breakfast sausage rolls with sesame seeds baked on top on white plate

    ๐Ÿค Recipe Highlights

    I have summarised everything that you will come to know and love (LOVE โค) about the recipe in the points below:

    • Big breakfast ingredients: you could go out and order a plate of sausages, scrambled eggs, a croissant, tomatoes, chipolatas, a bagel with cream cheese and coffee ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜โค. Or you could combine a selection of these in pastry, oven bake to perfection and enjoy breakfast in bed from the comfort of home ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‰. (Dunked in sauce of course!!!).
    • Fuss free as well as effortless: homemade sausage rolls are super easy to make but also fun and tasty! They work as tasty appetizers and will get any day off to a good start. Make, bake, freeze and you will thank yourself on the weekends when breakfast is done by 7am without everyone even out of bed yet!!
    • Suitable for all skill levels of cooking: if you have a read of my step by step instructions you will see photos for everything you need to do. This cuts down decision making so that you can follow the recipe very easily!
    • Freezer friendly: these sausage rolls are perfect to make, let cool then freeze. You will then be able to grab them to heat and serve or eat as you please. Don't worry that the pastry has already been frozen, it will refreeze without any issues!

    ๐Ÿฅ— Ingredients

    The photo below is to show you everything you need to make the recipe. Please refer to the printable recipe card for specific ingredient measurements as well as detailed instructions.

    Ingredients needed for the recipe

    As you can see the recipe calls for:

    • Pork sausages: my preference for these is to use plain pork sausages. Whilst you can get a number of flavours with additions such as garlic, sage and feta these days, plain is the recommended option. This is because we add our own seasoning. Which therefore results in deliberate intent with the flavour combination ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘.
    • Pork mince (ground pork): is readily available in the butcher's section of the supermarket. You will find it at Walmart, Tesco, Aldi, Safeway, Woolies and Coles. It is perfect to use in stir fry's, rissoles, pasta and savory puff pastry recipes.
    • Baked beans: almost every breakfast menu you will find will offer these! They help to provide bulk to the recipe as well as flavour and that unmistakeable 'breakfast flavour'.
    • Tomato paste: thick and rich, often used as a pizza sauce or ingredient in pasta sauce, we utilise this for the full tomato flavour that it provides.
    • Dried Onion Flakes: this will be found in the herbs and spices section of the supermarket. I love using it as it brings the flavour, but you save time and tears.
    • Oregano: chosen as a dried herb that works well to start your day and doesn't make the ingredient combination too intensely flavoured, we only need a small amount of this.
    • Puff Pastry: one of the most handy ingredients you can have in your freezer. Simple to use, budget friendly and works exceptionally well when making both sweet and savoury recipes.
    • Egg: this ingredient has multiple uses. We use it to seal the pastry, enable the pastry to turn golden brown and it helps stick the sesame seeds on top of the sausage rolls.
    • Salt and pepper: we use a little of each of these to season the sausage roll filling.

    ๐Ÿณ Instructions

    Here at the step by step instructions to make the recipe. We start by preparing the sausages, a task which needs a chopping board and fork or sharp knife.

    Step by step instructions 1 to 4
    • Remove the sausage casings (Photo 1)
    • Combine the sausage roll filling (Photo 2)
    • Roll filling onto thawed pastry (Photo 3)
    • Wrap and sealed with whisked egg (Photo 4)

    ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ How to Make Breakfast Sausage Rolls

    To make the sausage rolls, start by removing the puff pastry from the freezer. This ingredient needs to thaw so that it is soft and flexible when it comes to rolling the sausage rolls.

    The next step is to combine the filling ingredients in a food processor bowl and blitz to combine. Transfer this to a large mixing bowl and then work one by one and lay the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a chopping board.

    Using clean dry hands, roll a portion of the filling onto the pastry, then roll and wrap the puff pastry to cover.

    Use the whisked egg and a knife to cut and seal the overlap. Then use a knife and portion the long length of pastry into small individual portions (4 to 6 per pastry sheet).

    Transfer the portions to the silicon baking mat and repeat to fill the sheet. Then use the pastry brush to coat each individual sausage roll with the whisked egg. Take the sesame seeds and sprinkle a small amount of these seeds onto the top of each sausage roll.

    Once done, place the baking tray into the oven and allow the sausage rolls to bake for at least 30 minutes. They will be golden brown when cooked.

    Remove from the oven using oven mits, place on wire rack (the whole baking tray) to cool, then after 5 to 10 minutes use kitchen tongs to remove the sausage rolls and place onto the rack to finish cooling.

    ๐Ÿฝ Serving Suggestions

    You will need or want to serve these with sauce!!

    Tomato, ketch-up, BBQ or one of my homemade sauces. You can use whichever is your preference or the one that floats your boat to get you leaping out of bed for the day!

    ๐Ÿ‘ How to Guide

    How to Store

    The sausage rolls are best stored in a sealed, air tight container in the fridge.

    How to Freeze

    To freeze the sausage rolls, simply allow them to cool after cooking.

    Once cool, place them in a sealed, air tight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    How to Reheat

    To reheat the sausage rolls, you can use the oven or air fryer. Whilst the microwave will reheat them so that they are warm, the pastry won't be as flaky and crispy as it will from the 1st 2 methods listed.

    You can reheat them either from cooled or frozen. Simply place the sausage rolls onto a baking tray or into the air fryer basket. Then reheat for 15- 20 mins. Allow an additional 10 mins if reheating frozen sausage rolls.

    ๐Ÿ˜‰ Substitutions and Variations

    Here are my sub ins and outs that you might be thinking about as you read the post and I will tell you if I think they will work or why they won't:

    • You can use alternative herbs, such as Italian herbs in place of the oregano. As it is a breakfast recipe, we want to keep the herb as a compliment and not let it overwhelm the dish.
    • Or you can use an alternative type of sausage, be it beef, lamb or chicken.

    ๐Ÿ’ก Tasty Tips

    Here are my top tips and tricks that I want to share with you so that you master the recipe from the get go:

    • Start by grabbing the pastry out of the freezer so that it can defrost and be soft and easy to work with.
    • Use a small fork and or both fork and knife to remove the sausage skin.
    • Use a silicon baking mat as opposed to parchment paper (baking paper) or alfoil (tin foil) to avoid soggy pastry bottoms.
    • The sesame seeds will stick to the top of the raw pastry due to the brushed on whisked egg. Simply sprinkle them on top.

    ๐Ÿค“ Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you make breakfast sausage rolls?

    To make breakfast sausage rolls, you need to thaw the puff pastry, combine the filling and then wrap the filling in the thawed puff pastry. Oven baking them for 30 minutes will ensure that the filling is cooked and the pastry coating be crispy, flaky and delicious.

    Can you have a sausage roll for breakfast?

    Yes, you can eat sausage rolls for breakfast! Some gourmet sausage rolls will have fillings that are too intense to start the day, so opt for a subtle full flavoured combination of ingredients instead.

    Do you put egg in sausage roll mixture?

    We use egg as a coating on the puff pastry brushed on prior to cooking the sausage rolls. We do not use egg in the actual sausage roll filling mixture.

    • 2 Baking Trays
    • 2 Silicon Baking Mats
    • 2 Chopping boards
    • 1 Fork to remove the sausage casings
    • 1 Pastry Brush to brush the whisked egg onto the sausage rolls

    Ingredients

    • 500 grams/16 oz pork mince (ground pork)
    • 500 grams/16 oz pork sausages casings removed, Note 1 and Note 2
    • 400 grams/14 oz grams baked beans in tomato sauce this is simply 1 standard tin
    • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
    • 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs to ensure filling is not too wet/sticky
    • 1 tablespoon dried onion
    • 1 teaspoon oregano
    • ยผ teaspoon salt
    • ยฝ teaspoon pepper
    • 6 sheets puff pastry thawed
    • 1 egg whisked
    • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven:ย preheat the ovenย to 180ยฐC / 350-375ยฐF / Gas Mark 4-5.
    • Thaw pastry:ย remove packaging from pastry sheets and set flat in front of you. Allow to defrost (will take 5 mins).
    • Thaw pastry:ย remove packaging from pastry sheets and set flat in front of you. Allow to defrost (will take 5 mins).
    • Combine sausage roll filling:ย add the pork mince, pork sausages, baked beans, tomato paste, dried onion, oregano, panko breadcrumbs, salt and pepper to food processor bowl. Blitz to combine.
    • Roll the sausage rolls:ย working one sheet at a time lay the pastry sheet onto a chopping board and transfer the rolled filling on top. Roll the pastry sheet around the filling. Brush the whisked egg onto the overlap and press gently to seal. Note 3
    • Cut into portions:ย use a knife to trim the excess pastry off each end and then cut each rolled sausage into 6 small sausage rollsย Note 4
    • Coat with egg:ย use a pastry brush to coat the top part of the sausage rolls with the whisked egg. Note 5
    • Decorate:ย sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the sausage rolls (the egg will ensure they stick).
    • Oven Bake:ย place in the oven and cook for 25- 30 mins or until the pastry has turned light golden brown. When cooked, used oven mits to remove the trays from the oven and place on wire rack, then use tongs to transfer from baking tray.
    • Serve:ย provide either tomato sauce (ketch up), BBQ, or a homemade sauce and dig in!

    Notes

    • Note 1 - Sausages:ย Go for plain pork sausages that don't have additional ingredients such as cheese and or herbs.
    • Note 2 - Removing the sausage skin: I find a small fork (teaspoon size) the most effective way of removing the skin. It helps to open the end up and then you can lift it and run it the length, removing it in one go. Try and hold the sausage flat as the skin will get stuck if the sausage gets bent.
    • Note 3 - Rolling the pastry:ย make this a snug fit so when the pastry cooks, it stays tight around the filling.ย 
    • Note 4 Sausage rolls: I cut each long length of pastry into 6 sausage rolls. Feel free to do the same or make them bigger (less portions per long length) or smaller (more portions per long length) than this.
    • Note 5 Seal the overlap with egg:ย when you roll the pastry, ensure there is a slight overlap. Then brush a little egg on this overlap and seal the pastry.ย
