FAQ: Red Onion & Cheese Sausage Rolls
1. Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes! While a sharp cheddar works beautifully, you can experiment with Gruyère, mozzarella, or even blue cheese for a stronger flavour.
2. Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the rolls and store them in the fridge overnight before baking. Alternatively, freeze them before baking and cook straight from frozen—just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
3. How do I prevent soggy pastry?
To keep the pastry crisp, make sure the filling isn’t too wet. Allow the caramelised onions to cool before mixing them in, and don’t overfill the rolls. Baking them on a lined tray in a hot oven will also help achieve a golden, flaky crust.
4. Can I make these vegetarian?
Yes! Swap out the sausage meat for a plant-based alternative or a mix of mushrooms and lentils for a delicious vegetarian version.
5. How do I store leftovers?
Store cooled sausage rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for a few minutes to crisp them back up.
