Ingredients

1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives or 2 teaspoons dried chives
2 teaspoons minced fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika, divided
1-1/4 pounds bulk pork sausage
1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine first 6 ingredients and 3/4 teaspoon paprika. Add sausage; mix lightly but thoroughly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each pastry sheet into an 11x10-1/2-in. rectangle. Cut each lengthwise into 3 strips. Spread 1/2 cup sausage mixture lengthwise down the center of each strip. Fold sides over filling, pinching edges to seal. Cut each log into 6 pieces.
Place on a rack in a 15x10x1-in. pan, seam side down. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon paprika. Bake until golden brown and sausage is no longer pink, 20-25 minutes.

I was born and raised in Australia, but moved to the U.S. when I got married. When I long for some Australian recipes, I bake up a batch of this sausage roll recipe and share them with neighbors or co-workers. —Melissa Landon, Port Charlotte, Florida
