Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef, chicken, or turkey
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets, thawed)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly while stirring until golden brown (15-20 minutes). Set aside to cool.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ground sausage with caramelized onions, thyme, salt, and pepper. If desired, mix in cheese and mustard.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into rectangles (4×6 inches). Place spoonfuls of filling on each rectangle, fold over one side, seal edges with a fork, and brush tops with beaten egg.
- Bake: Arrange on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
