How to make the Sausage Rolls
Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Make sure that the sheets of puff pastry are fully thawed out before starting the recipe.
- Combine in a large bowl, the cream, onion soup mix, and panko crumbs. Stir until the cream has been absorbed by the dry ingredients.
- Add the ground porc to the bowl, with the Dijon mustard, ketchup, and fresh parsley. Use your hand to mix all of the ingredients until smooth.
- Cut both squares of thawed puff pastry in 2, to create 4 rectangles of dough.
- Divide the meat mixture in 4. Use your hands to shape each portion of meat into a 10 inch log. Place the logs on the longer edge of each piece of dough.
5. Prepare an egg wash and brush it on the other exposed half of the rectangles of dough.
6. Position the rectangle with the meat closest to you. Roll away from you, keeping the dough tight to the meat, until the meat is encased in dough and sealed.
7. Make sure the seam in the dough is on the bottom. Brush the top of the rolls with egg wash and sprinkle on the everything bagel seasoning.
8. Use a serrated knife to cut each log into eight equal sausage rolls, creating a total of 32 rolls.
Transfer the prepared French Onion Sausage Rolls to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Place the tray in the preheated oven and baked for 30 minutes.

Notes
- The puff pastry sheets used in this recipe are 10"x10" squares. The total weight on the packages dough was 450 grams.
- If using the Pepperidge Farm Brand, the sheets of pastry will be 10"x15". You can trim the sheets to make them 10"x 10" squares. You can also cut the sheets in half as-is, to make 10"x 7.5" rectangles, making sure to line up logs of meat on the 10" side. This will result in extra dough on the rolls.
