What You Need To Make This French Onion Sausage Rolls Recipe?
Pork Mince: For the pork mince, it’s best to choose high-quality ones as they serve as the foundation, for our rolls. The fat content in the mince adds juiciness and richness elevating the flavor.
Salt-Reduced French Onion Soup Mix: Incorporating a salt-reduced onion soup mix brings a burst of flavor with its blend of onions and herbs. Opting for a salt-reduced variety allows us to have control over the seasoning for that savory balance.
Tomato Ketchup: Tomato ketchup isn’t just limited to fries; it adds a tangy dimension to our rolls. It’s like that hidden melody in a symphony – you might not always notice it. You’d definitely miss it if it weren’t there.
Worcestershire Sauce: Consider Worcestershire sauce as the world’s wand. Its umami depth and subtle tanginess take the pork to heights of deliciousness.
Dijon Mustard: To give our rolls a gourmet touch incorporate Dijon mustard. It brings a heat and complexity that whispers more than shouts.
Puff Pastry: Think of puff pastry as the buttery vessel that wraps around our filling. Once baked it transforms into layers of crispy delight providing a textural contrast against the moist filling.
Egg and Milk (for the glaze): Lastly using an egg and milk mixture for glazing creates that glossy golden finish, on the pastry. It’s similar, to the stroke of a painting adding both elegance and a hint of depth.
Steps To Make French Onion Sausage Rolls:
Step 1: First, crank up your oven to a cozy 200C. In a big bowl, let’s mix the pork mince with our secret weapon – the French onion soup mix, along with ketchup, Worcestershire, and mustard. Give it a good mix and a dash of pepper for good measure. Now, grab your puff pastry sheets, halve them, and lay that tasty mince mixture down each piece. In a small bowl, whisk your egg and milk, then brush it along one side of the mince on the pastry. Time to roll them up snugly and give the tops a nice egg wash. With a serrated knife, gently cut each log into bite-sized pieces, and lay them on a baking-paper-lined tray.

Tip:
Here’s a helpful tip, for making French Onion Sausage Rolls; before you start assembling the rolls it’s an idea to refrigerate the pork mince mixture. Once you’ve mixed the pork with the onion soup mix, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard cover the bowl. Let it chill in the fridge for around 30 minutes to an hour. This chilling process offers advantages:
Easier Handling: When the mince is cold it becomes firmer and easier to work with. This means less mess when shaping it on the puff pastry.
Enhanced Flavors: Allowing the mixture to rest gives time for the flavors to blend and intensify. During this resting period, the savory notes of the onion soup mix and the tanginess of mustard and Worcestershire sauce infuse deeply into the pork.
Improved Texture: When chilled the mince maintains its shape better while baking. This results, in neater-looking sausage rolls that appear professional.
By following this step you can take your French Onion Sausage Rolls to another level by enhancing their flavor profile and presentation.

I have made so many sausage rolls over to many many years. I used to have my own Catering business also, I quite by accident found the quickest and most evenly distributed filling was with a piping bag particularly brilliant for bite size sausage rolls.
I have now made these SR’s 3 times, love the soup mix addition. The last batch I also added fresh grated Paremsan cheese, it was extra yum 😋
These were very quick to make but i found the texture was a bit too dense for my liking. I’ll make again with half mince and half sausage meat.
