Mexican sausage rolls are a delightful twist on a classic snack, combining the savory flavors of traditional sausage rolls with the zesty spices of Mexican cuisine. Perfect for parties, snacks, or even a fun dinner, these rolls are sure to be a hit with their flaky pastry and delicious filling.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the finely diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Add the grated carrot and zucchini to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables have softened and most of their moisture has evaporated.
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the cooked vegetables into a large mixing bowl.
- Add 2 tbsp of bread crumbs and 2 tbsp of your chosen spice mix to the bowl.
- Mix everything together thoroughly to create a well-combined filling.
- Lay the two sheets of thawed puff pastry on a clean, flat surface.
- Divide your vegetable filling evenly between the two sheets, spreading it out in a thin line along one edge of each sheet.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the filling lines on both sheets.
- Carefully roll the pastry sheets over the filling, starting from the edge with the filling. Roll tightly to ensure the filling is well-encased.
- Brush the seam and the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to seal them and give a golden top.
- Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into approximately 6-8 smaller pieces (depending on your preferred size).
- Place the pieces seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of each piece with more beaten egg for a glossy finish.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove the Mexican sausage rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Tips:
- Grate the onion, carrot, and zucchini finely to ensure a smooth mixture that binds well with the other ingredients.
- Make sure the filling is cool before placing it on the puff pastry to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the rolls to avoid squashing the pastry.
- For an extra crispy texture, brush the pastry with beaten egg before baking.
- Customize the spice mix to your taste preference; consider adding hot paprika or cayenne pepper for more heat.
Your Mexican sausage rolls are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them hot as an appetizer, side dish, or even a main course. The unique blend of veggies, spices, and cheese wrapped in crispy puff pastry makes for a truly satisfying bite. Enjoy the delightful medley of flavors with every bite.
