1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, (divided)

Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, 1 egg, and fresh thyme.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon of water until well combined. Set aside.
Unroll the puff pastry on a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll it out slightly to create a large rectangle and soften the puff pastry slightly (this helps make it easier to form and shape). Cut the pastry in half to create two long strips. Repeat with the second puff pastry dough, so that there are 4, long equal strips.
Divide the sausage mixture into fourths, shaping each portion into a long log. Place each sausage log in the center, lengthwise along the pastry strips, pressing it down as needed so that it creates a long, thin line of sausage down the center of each puff pastry strip.
Brush one side of the puff pastry with the Dijon mustard, then brush the other side with the egg wash. Roll the pastry around the sausage, letting the egg wash act as glue, pushing the puff pastry together until it seals.
Flip it over so that the seam is on the bottom. Using a paring knife, score small slits into the top of the sausage logs, then cut them into 1½-inch rolls.
Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash and sprinkle with Everything But The Bagel seasoning. Repeat with the remaining dough and sausage.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
Let the sausage rolls cool slightly before transferring to a platter. Drizzle each sausage roll with hot honey, sprinkle with extra thyme, and serve warm.

Taylor F on 2026-04-04 (5 stars): SO AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS and the best part? how easy they are to make. I've made this countless times and it never fails to amaze me how fast it is to whip together and how fast they disappear from the platter. Crowd pleaser for sure. Make them just make them!
Lauren on 2026-01-21 (5 stars): So good and also a really substantial app! Mostly wanted to say thank you Alex for the video- was helpful to reference when I made them!
Karen on 2026-01-01 (5 stars): Amazing!!
Renee on 2026-01-01 (5 stars): these were a hit at a nye party! I only had ground pork on hand but used the breakfast sausage recipe from allrecipes.com to season and added in 1 tsp each of garlic powder and onion powder too. We made hot honey by simmering some honey with a chopped jalapeno and let it sit until spicy enough for our taste. Will make again!
Karen Ball on 2025-12-28 (5 stars): Great recipe! My family loved!
Brooke Briche on 2025-12-26 (5 stars): Made these for the first time for my xmas eve party . I should have tripled the recipe !!! The second the word got out that these were so good they were gone! Made the sausage mixture the day before . Will be making these for football games on New Year’s Day !!
Kate on 2025-12-25 (5 stars): These sausage rolls are SO good. My husband is English and I would say a bit of a sausage roll snob and he loved these!! The flavor combination is amazing. I also used gluten free puff pastry from Whole Foods and no one could tell. 10/10 recipe for sure!!
Suzanne t on 2025-12-07 (5 stars): These are amazing. I froze ahead of time and baked on 400 for 30 minutes. They came out perfect! Perfect recipe to keep in freezer when you need a last minute appetizer!
Ash on 2025-11-27 (5 stars): These are delicious, but bee 🐝 conservative with the hot honey 🍯 … it stings the lips a lil”! So good though. The flavors play well together.
Natalie on 2025-07-19 (5 stars): Alex always kills it with the recipes, but damn these sausage rolls are so good. I will eat the entire thing on my own. The everything but the bagel seasoning with honey just makes them!
