Cheesy Aussie Sausage Rolls are a golden, flaky pastry filled with seasoned pork or beef mince and pockets of melted cheese — a cheesy twist on the beloved Australian classic snack or meal.

Ingredients

  • 500 g pork mince (or beef mince)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped or grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or mixed dried herbs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 200 g shredded cheddar or cheese blend
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Sesame or poppy seeds for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mince, onion, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Stir in half of the shredded cheese to create cheesy pockets throughout the meat filling.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, cut each puff pastry sheet into two long rectangles.
  5. Place a portion of the meat mixture along one long edge of each pastry rectangle, then roll up to encase the filling. Seal the edges and trim as needed.
  6. Brush the tops with beaten egg, sprinkle remaining cheese over the top, and add sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
  7. Score the tops lightly or cut small slits to allow steam to escape.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until pastry is golden, crisp, and the filling is cooked through.
  9. Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with tomato, BBQ, or mustard sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure meat mixture isn’t too wet to avoid soggy pastry.
  • Seal edges tightly to prevent cheese from leaking out.
  • For party snacks, cut rolls smaller before baking.
  • Use sausage meat for a shortcut or extra-rich flavor.
  • Sprinkle extra herbs or cheese on top for added taste.
