Pork mince, French onion soup mix, Dijon mustard, and puff pastry come together in these flaky, flavorful French Onion Sausage Rolls.

this Recipe

Okay, let’s rewind to last December. You know that point in the holidays when you’ve got unexpected guests showing up, everyone’s hungry, and your brain is this close to short-circuiting? Yep, that was me. We’d just finished putting up the tree (for the second time, because someone’s cat thought it was a jungle gym), and my family announced they were starving. Naturally.

I stared into my fridge like it was going to give me life advice. What I found was pork mince, leftover French onion soup mix (don’t ask why), and a couple sheets of puff pastry I’d forgotten to label. And somehow, magic happened. These French Onion Sausage Rolls were born. And I swear on my mismatched Christmas socks, they were the first thing to disappear from the table. Even my aunt, who normally picks at everything like she’s on MasterChef, went back for seconds.

Why You’ll Love This French onion sausage rolls Recipe?

Look, I’m not saying these rolls will change your life… but I’m not not saying that either. Here’s the deal:

• They’re stupidly easy to make. If you can mix things in a bowl and roll up pastry, you’re golden.
• That French onion soup mix? Game-changer. It makes them taste like you’ve been slow-cooking onions for hours when really, you threw this together during the commercials.
• The flaky puff pastry gets all golden and buttery while the filling stays juicy and flavorful. Honestly, it’s hard to beat.
• Perfect for game day, holiday parties, or even just a snack when you’re binge-watching your favorite show (no judgment).

Ingredient Notes:

Now, let’s chat ingredients. You probably have most of these on hand already. If not, it’s a quick trip to the shop.

Pork Mince (1000g)

I like using pork because it’s juicy and flavorful, but chicken mince works too if you’re feeling a little healthier. Beef? Sure, why not. It’s your kitchen.

French Onion Soup Mix (35g)

This is where the flavor magic happens. It gives you that deep, savory punch without making you cry over chopping onions. Been there.

Tomato Ketchup (1 tbsp)

Just a little for sweetness and balance. Think of it as the background singer of the recipe—it makes the lead vocals sound better.

Worcestershire Sauce (2 tbsp)

Salty, tangy, and a little mysterious. I never know how to pronounce it, but I do know it makes things taste better.

Dijon Mustard (2 tbsp)

Adds that sharp tang that makes you go, “Ooh, what’s that flavor?” You can swap for yellow mustard if Dijon’s too fancy.

Puff Pastry Sheets (3, defrosted)

I always keep puff pastry in the freezer. You never know when you’ll need an emergency snack. Just make sure it’s fully thawed, or it’ll crack when you try to roll it.

Egg + Milk (1 egg + 1 tbsp milk)

The classic egg wash—makes those rolls look all shiny and golden like you bought them at a fancy bakery. Trust me, it’s worth it.

How To Make French onion sausage rolls?

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Heat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper because scrubbing caramelized bits off a tray is not my idea of fun.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

In a big ol’ bowl, toss in your pork mince, soup mix, ketchup, Worcestershire, and Dijon mustard. Add a little cracked pepper if you like a kick. Get in there with your hands. It’s messy, but it’s how you know you’re doing it right.

Step 3: Roll It Up

Take your puff pastry sheets, cut each one in half, and spoon the sausage mixture along one edge. Don’t overstuff! (Been there… explosion city.) Brush the far edge with your egg wash, then roll it up tight like a sleeping bag.

Step 4: Cut & Place

Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces, depending on how generous you’re feeling. Place them seam-side down on your tray so they don’t unravel like my New Year’s resolutions.

Step 5: Egg Wash & Bake

Brush the tops with more egg wash. Pop them in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until they’re golden brown and your kitchen smells like heaven.

Storage Options:

• Fridge: Airtight container. 3 days max. Reheat in the oven, or they’ll go soggy.
• Freezer: Freeze before baking. When you’re ready, bake straight from frozen—add 5-10 mins to the cook time.
• Counter: Nope. Don’t risk it. They’re meat, after all.

Variations and Substitutions:

• Swap the Meat: Ground beef, chicken, or turkey works. Even veggie mince if you’re plant-based.
• Cheese It Up: Add shredded cheddar or mozzarella to the filling. You’re welcome.
• Spicy Version: Toss in chili flakes or hot sauce if you like things spicy.
• Herby Twist: Fresh thyme or parsley adds a fancy flair if you’ve got some lying around.

What to Serve with French onion sausage rolls?

• Dips: Ketchup, BBQ sauce, spicy mayo—whatever makes you happy.
• Soup: French onion soup (obviously), tomato, or a hearty veggie.
• Salads: A simple green salad makes you feel like you’re balancing things out.
• Drinks: Beer, cider, or even lemonade if you’re keeping it kid-friendly.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely. Make ‘em, freeze ‘em, and bake when you need a crowd-pleaser.

Do I have to use French onion soup mix?
No, but it’s what makes them awesome. You can sauté onions and add seasoning, but why complicate it?

So, are you in? I highly recommend whipping up a batch of these French Onion Sausage Rolls for your next get-together—or just for yourself. No judgment here.

If you make them, I’d love to hear how they turned out! Got a twist or variation? Spill it in the comments. I’m always on the hunt for the next best snack hack.

Notes

For those who adore the flavors of our French Onion Sausage Rolls but require a gluten-free option here's an innovative twist to ensure this delightful recipe is accessible, to you. The trick lies in substituting a couple of ingredients while preserving the essence of the dish:

Gluten-Free Puff Pastry: Thankfully some brands offer gluten puff pastry guaranteeing you won't miss out on that crucial flaky and buttery experience. Just be sure to thaw it according to the instructions on the package.

Gluten-Free French Onion Soup Mix: Opt for a version of the French onion soup mix, which can be easily found in health food sections or specialty stores. Alternatively if you're up for it you can even create your blend using dried onion flakes, a hint of garlic powder and some gluten-free beef bouillon for a similar flavor profile.

Tamari Sauce as an Alternative, to Worcestershire: Traditional Worcestershire sauce contains gluten; therefore swap it out for tamari sauce—a gluten-free alternative that offers a comparable umami depth.

By implementing these substitutions you can craft a gluten-free rendition of the French Onion Sausage Rolls without compromising on the mouthwatering taste and delicate texture that make this dish beloved by many.
