Instructions

Step 1

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned, about 20-25 minutes. Reduce heat if browning too quickly. Pour into a small bowl and set aside until cooled.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combined pork, cooled onions, fennel, sage, thyme, salt, pepper and Stilton. Mix until just combined. Do not over-mix!

Step 3

Cut out two large pieces of plastic wrap and lay them across the counter. Divide meat mixture in half and shape into 2 logs, about 10 inches long. Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.

Step 4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and beat egg in a small bowl until blended. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out puff pastry so it’s slightly larger than the meat logs, roughly 10x12 inches. Cut in half lengthwise.

Step 5

Unwrap the meat and place one log in the center of each pastry half. Brush one long side of each pastry sheet with the egg wash, fold over the sausage and tightly roll until it overlaps. Pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice the chilled sausage into 16 rolls and spread them out on the baking sheet. Brush well with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds, if using. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until browned and sausage is cooked through. Transfer rolls immediately to a cooling rack to prevent a soggy bottom.
