In my kitchen I love whipping up these tiny puff pastry sausage rolls that always wow everyone at parties. The golden flaky crust that makes a satisfying crunch with each bite and the juicy sausage inside is my go-to trick for stress-free, successful gatherings. They take no time to make and my guests always ask for more.
The crowd-pleasing snack
These rolls have become my must-have for all my get-togethers. The crispy pastry, the sausage nicely spiced up with my touch of mustard and my herbs from Provence is a combo that works every single time. I also love how practical they are - they come together in a flash and put everyone in a good mood.
What you'll need
- Puff pastry: A ready-made roll is so much easier.
- Sausages: 6 Knackis® because everyone enjoys their flavor.
- Mustard: I adjust the amount based on what I'm feeling and what my guests prefer.
- Sour cream: A bit to soften the mustard kick.
- Egg yolk: Just one does the trick for a beautiful golden finish.
- Herbs de Provence: A small pinch that makes all the difference.
How to make them
- Get the oven ready
- I warm it up to 180°C for just the right bake.
- Lay out the dough
- I unfold my puff pastry onto my clean kitchen counter.
- Build the rolls
- I mix mustard with sour cream, place the sausage near the edge, roll it up and cut. Then I do the same with two sausages side by side.
- Add some shine
- I brush with egg yolk and sprinkle my Provençal herbs over top.
- Off to bake
- I lay them on my baking sheet lined with parchment and keep an eye on them for 20 minutes until they turn beautifully golden.

My little tricks
Sometimes I switch things up with spicy sausages for a change. I often add some grated cheese to make them even more indulgent. I always watch them closely toward the end of baking for that perfect golden color. And most importantly, I serve them piping hot when they're at their best with that crispy, flaky texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I prep these rolls earlier?
- Make them a few hours ahead but bake just before serving. Or freeze them raw and bake straight from the freezer when needed.
- → What type of sausages should I choose?
- Pick sausages like Strasbourg, knacks, or chipolatas. Adjust the size of the rolls to fit the sausage size.
- → How can I make sure they’re golden?
- Brush generously with egg yolk before baking. Preheat the oven well so the pastry puffs up perfectly.
- → Why are my rolls too pale?
- If they’re not golden, pop them under the grill for a few minutes. Keep a close watch to avoid burning them.
- → How do I heat them up again?
- Warm them in the oven at 150°C for 5-10 minutes to keep the crisp texture. Skip the microwave—it’ll make them soggy.
