These herb sausage rolls are absolutely delicious and so easy to make. I've been whipping them up for years because they're ready in under an hour and cost just a few pounds to prepare. The fresh thyme and sage really elevate simple sausage meat into something special, and thyme is fantastic for your digestion and immune system too. They're perfect for parties, packed lunches, or a quick weeknight dinner. Trust me, once you try homemade versions, you'll never go back to shop bought.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the sausage meat with breadcrumbs, thyme, sage, diced onion, and egg. Mix gently until everything is evenly distributed, then season with salt and pepper.
Tip: Don't overwork the mixture or the sausage will become tough and dense.
- 3
Lay out your puff pastry sheets and divide the sausage mixture into two portions, one for each sheet. Spread the mixture along the center of each pastry sheet in a long log shape.
Tip: Leave about 2 centimeters of pastry visible on all sides for wrapping and sealing.
- 4
Roll the pastry tightly around the sausage filling, sealing the seam with a little water along the edge if needed.
Tip: A pastry brush or your finger works well for dampening the seam.
- 5
Cut each rolled log into 8 equal pieces using a sharp knife, creating 16 rolls total.
Tip: Wiping your knife between cuts keeps the pastry from sticking and gives cleaner edges.
- 6
Place the rolls seam side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush lightly with olive oil.
Tip: This helps them turn golden and crispy during baking.
- 7
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Tip: Rotate the tray halfway through cooking for even browning if your oven has hot spots.
- 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Tip: These are wonderful served with wholegrain mustard or a simple salad for a lighter meal.
