• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix together sausage meat, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, thyme, pepper, and mustard until well combined.

3. Roll out the pastry: Lightly flour your surface and gently roll out each puff pastry sheet to smooth and slightly enlarge. Cut each sheet into two rectangles (for a total of 4 pieces).

4. Assemble the rolls: Spoon a log of sausage mixture lengthwise down the center of each rectangle. Fold the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges with a bit of beaten egg. Press down with a fork to secure.

5. Add finishing touches: Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Use a knife to make small slits on top for ventilation.

6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown, and the sausage is fully cooked inside.

7. Cool slightly before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with more fresh parsley for garnish.
