These egg-filled sausage rolls are great for parties or kids lunch boxes. If you don't have an air-fryer, you can cook them in the oven too!
Ingredients
6 small (50g) eggs
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
Egg wash, for brushing
Tomato relish or tomato sauce, to serve
500g beef sausage mince
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, grated
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ cup finely chopped parsley
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Method
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil then cook for 3 minutes. Eggs should be soft boiled, so they don’t overcook in rolls. Drain and immerse in cold water. Peel
To make filling, place mince, onion, carrot, garlic, parsley and mustard in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well
Divide mixture into six and roll an egg into a portion of sausage mince to enclose
Place pastry sheets on a flat surface and cut each sheet into three even strips
Place sausage covered eggs at the end of each length of pastry. Press down gently to flatten slightly and shape mixture into a rectangle to fit pastry
Roll up to enclose filling, brush end of pastry with egg wash to seal. Brush egg wash over each roll. Place rolls seam-side down
AIR-FRYER METHOD: Preheat air-fryer to 180°C, place 2 rolls in the basket and cook for 20 minutes or until cooked. Remove and repeat with remaining rolls. Serve warm with relish or sauce
OVEN METHOD: Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C (fan-forced) and line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place parcels onto tray leaving a 2cm space between them. Cook for about 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and crisp
Tips & Hints
Dijon mustard can be removed altogether or replace with BBQ sauce.
Uncooked rolls can be frozen for up to 2 months. Cook rolls from frozen in a hot oven (200°C) for 45 to 50 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and crisp and filling is hot.
Great cold in a school lunch box instead of a sandwich.
