Mrs. Ruth's Spicy Sausage Rolls on a cooling rack

Mrs. Ruth’s Spicy Sausage Rolls

Flaky golden puff pastry wrapped around savory sausage with a generous spread of Mrs. Ruth's Roasted Tomato Chutney baked right inside. These sausage rolls are the kind of appetizer that disappears from the platter before you've even set it down — and they're ready in under 45 minutes with just five ingredients.

Recipe Details

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30–35 minutes
Total Time: 45–50 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated puff pastry sheets
  • 1 pound precooked sausage links (your choice of flavor and protein)
  • 1 (10 oz) jar Mrs. Ruth's Roasted Tomato Chutney, plus more for serving
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ¼ cup whole milk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll puff pastry onto a sheet of parchment paper. Cut each sheet in half lengthwise with a pizza cutter to create two long rectangles.
  3. Place rectangles on the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  4. Spoon Mrs. Ruth's Roasted Tomato Chutney down the center of each rectangle, leaving a ¼-inch border along the edges.
  5. Position a sausage link in the center of each rectangle on top of the chutney.
  6. Whisk together the beaten egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastry with the wash.
  7. Fold one side of the pastry over the sausage and press firmly to seal. Score the tops with a sharp knife. Brush the tops with remaining egg wash.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and serve warm with extra Roasted Tomato Chutney on the side for dipping.

Tips & Notes

  • Refrigerated vs. frozen pastry: Refrigerated puff pastry is easiest to work with. If using frozen, thaw to room temperature before starting — cold dough tears and won't seal properly.
  • Seal tightly: Press the edges firmly and use the egg wash as glue to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • Sausage options: Try chicken apple sausage, spicy Italian, or smoked kielbasa for different flavor profiles.
  • Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate unbaked rolls up to 24 hours ahead. Bake straight from the fridge, adding 3–5 minutes to the bake time.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers and reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes to restore crispiness.
