Ingredients
1poundpackage frozen puff pastry(I use Pepperidge Farms)
flourfor dusting
1eggbeaten
8uncooked jumbo all-beef kosher hot dogs or chicken sausagecut in half lengthwise
2tablespoonssmoky or grainy mustard
small handful fresh herbssuch as thyme, marjoram, or chopped rosemary
kosher salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Defrost puff pastry according to package instructions. Roll the pastry out on a floured counter to a rectangle of about 19” x 12”. Cut the large rectangle in half lengthwise, then cut both smaller rectangles into eight equal sections down to 16 rectangles total.
Spread a small amount of mustard on top ⅓ of each pastry rectangle. Lay a half of a hot dog or sausage on the mustard and sprinkle with herb of choice. Brush the other end of the rectangle with a little of the beaten egg and roll the sausage up in the pastry, sealing the ends. Put the sausage rolls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for the pastry to chill.
Remove from the refrigerator and prick the tops with a fork, brush with the rest of the beaten egg, sprinkle with kosher salt and bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry has turned a golden brown and looks crisp. Remove from the oven and serve warm or at room temperature with more mustard.
