01 - 14 ounces good-quality pork sausage meat
02 - 1 small onion, finely diced
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
05 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Pastry
09 - 11 ounces ready-rolled all-butter puff pastry, thawed if frozen
→ Assembly
10 - 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine the pork sausage meat, diced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried thyme, ground black pepper, ground nutmeg, and salt; mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
03 - Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut lengthwise into two equal strips.
04 - Divide the sausage filling into two equal portions and shape each into a long log, placing one along the edge of each pastry strip.
05 - Brush the exposed pastry edges with beaten egg and roll the pastry tightly over the sausage logs, sealing the edges underneath.
06 - Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 12 equal-sized mini rolls and position them seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.
07 - Brush the tops of the mini rolls with more beaten egg and optionally sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
08 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
09 - Allow rolls to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
