I remember when I had five kids home for the 6 weeks of summer and of course if they all had just one friend each over, I had a veritable gaggle of hungry kids to keep fed. This is just such a recipe and so simple the older kids could manage it themselves. Just 3 ingredients (if you leave out the thyme) and some oven time and you are feeding them all in no time!
It is less of a recipe and more of a suggestion. I am planning a 'Things that are better wrapped in pastry' series on Instagram. Make sure you are following so you don't miss a thing. This was the first recipe...super simple. Enjoy.
Here are a few more things wrapped in pastry!

Need
- 1 Batch Puff Pastry ready to roll, or 2 commercial sheets of puff pastry Recipe
- 5-6 good quality sausages of your choice
- 100 Grams mature cheddar cheese cubed
- 6 bocconcini, torn into pieces
- fresh thyme sprigs to garnish BUY
- Fermented Tomato Ketchup or your fave tomato sauce to serve Recipe
Do
- 1
Lay out the pastry on a bench and make sure you either have the silpat mat underneath or the plastic lining it was wrapped in originally. This will help you roll it up later.
- 2
Skin the sausages and press the sausage meat all over the pastry, as close to the edges as possible. You need good coverage or you will end up with a lot of pastry and not much else.
- 3
Place the cheese into the Thermomix bowl and mill 10 sec/speed 10.
- 4
Spread across the sausage meat. Arrange the bocconcini on top if using and a few thyme leaves as well. Roll up using the bread mat to help you and place into the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- 5
Preheat the oven to 200-220°C and line a baking tray with paper. Set aside.
- 6
When ready to bake remove from the freezer and cut across the roll into rounds, placing cut side up on the prepared tray. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and fragrant and oozy.
- 7
Cool slightly as melted cheese is hotter than the sun! Drizzle with sauce of choice and eat a couple! Share with others if you are a nice human.
