Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the honey and Dijon mustard until smooth. Set aside.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry just enough to smooth it. Cut into rectangles about 3 x 5 inches.
- Place a line of sausage meat along one long edge of each rectangle. Season lightly with salt and pepper if needed.
- Roll the pastry over the sausage filling and seal the edge with a little water. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and deeply golden.
- Remove from the oven and immediately brush generously with the honey mustard glaze.
- Cool slightly, then serve warm or at room temperature.
