  1. Heat the oven to 200°C, or 180°C fan, and line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Cook the chopped bacon in a dry frying pan for 4–5 minutes until lightly crisp. Set it aside to cool briefly.

  3. Mix the sausage meat with the bacon, cheddar, mustard and black pepper until evenly combined.

  4. Unroll the pastry and cut it lengthways into two long rectangles. Divide the filling between them, shaping it into a long sausage down the centre of each strip.

  5. Brush one long pastry edge with beaten egg, fold the pastry over the filling and press firmly to seal. Turn seam-side down and cut each long roll into five pieces.

  6. Arrange the pieces on the tray, brush with more egg and scatter with seeds if using.

  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes until puffed, deeply golden and cooked through. Rest for 5–10 minutes before serving warm or cold.

Notes

\Chill the assembled rolls for 15 minutes if the pastry becomes soft.\
\For a sweeter variation, mix a tablespoon of caramelised onion chutney into the filling.\
About this recipe

These sausage rolls combine seasoned pork, smoky bacon and mature cheddar inside crisp puff pastry. They are straightforward to assemble and work equally well for lunchboxes, picnics or a warm party spread. Make the rolls ahead and chill them before baking so the pastry keeps its shape. They can also be frozen unbaked for a useful make-ahead option.
