    What goes into the recipe

    don't forget to scroll to the recipe card for amounts and full method!

    ingredients: beef mince, puff pastry, bacon, cheese, milk, nigella seeds, mixed herbs
    • beef mince- I buy five star mince, regardless of what I'm making, but for these sausage rolls it's particularly important, because the cheese and bacon contribute to the fat content of these sausage rolls!
    • bacon- you can either buy diced bacon, or use rashers of bacon and dice them yourself
    • cheese- grate from a block! Why? It's cheaper, and it tastes better!
    • puff pastry- I use butter puff, allow it to defrost completely before using, it normally takes about 15 minutes, depending on your room temp.

    How to make this recipe

    Expert Tips and FAQs

    Make sure your oven is fully heated up before you pop these in, or you risk soggy pastry, something that no-one likes! They are freezer friendly, just roll and then freeze, brush with milk when frozen and top with the seeds and bake from frozen, keeping an eye on them as they may need 5 minutes or so more. 


    How hot should my oven be when cooking puff pastry?

    Puff pastry needs a HOT Oven (220º celsius or 428F). Especially when it has has cold filling. There is a fine line between: getting the pastry cooked perfectly and cooking the meat to a suitable temp. Preheat your oven for at least ½ hour before cooking. When they have finished cooking, check the bottoms. If they are even slightly soggy (shouldn't happen if your oven is hot enough) then flip them and cook the bases for 5 minutes.

    Can I cook these from frozen?

    They are freezer friendly, just roll and then freeze, brush with milk when frozen and top with the seeds and bake from frozen, keeping an eye on them as they may need 5 minutes or so more. 

    Can I swap the bacon and cheese?

    The best bet if you don't want to make these as cheese and bacon sausage rolls is to try another sausage roll recipe. We have beef and veggie ones, chicken, Mexican beef and pork and apple!
