Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 small onion, finely grated or very finely minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg, beaten, for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, baking soda, and 1 large egg. Mix just until evenly combined.
- Lay the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet in half lengthwise to make 4 long rectangles.
- Divide the filling into 4 equal portions and shape each into a long log down the center of each pastry strip.
- Brush one long edge of each pastry strip with beaten egg, fold the pastry over the filling, and press to seal. Place seam-side down.
- Cut each log into 4 pieces to make 16 mini sausage rolls and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- Cut small slits on top, brush with the remaining egg wash, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and deeply golden and the filling is cooked through.
- Cool for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped chives and serve warm.
Notes
- Keep the puff pastry cold for the flakiest texture.
- Do not overmix the filling or it may become dense.
- You can assemble the rolls ahead and chill them before baking.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven for the best crisp texture.
