Sticky Sage & Onion Sausage Roll Wreath with Baked Camembert Recipe

Introduction

This sticky sage and onion sausage roll wreath paired with baked camembert makes a perfect centerpiece for gatherings or cozy nights in. The combination of flavorful pork sausage, caramelised onion chutney, and fragrant sage wrapped in flaky puff pastry is irresistible. Plus, the soft, melted camembert at the center adds a creamy, indulgent touch.

Ingredients

• 320g sheet of puff pastry
• 3 tbsp caramelised onion chutney
• 4 pork sausages, skins removed
• 1 egg, beaten
• 250g round of camembert
• 6-9 sage leaves
• Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Unravel the puff pastry and cut it lengthwise into two long strips.
2. Step 2: Spread 1 tablespoon of the caramelised onion chutney down the center of each pastry strip. Divide the sausage meat between the strips, shaping it back into sausage forms along the chutney.
3. Step 3: Brush one edge of each pastry strip with beaten egg, then fold the other edge over to enclose the filling. Press firmly to seal the edges.
4. Step 4: Remove the camembert from its packaging and place it in the center of the baking tray. Wrap the two sausage rolls around the cheese, keeping the sealed edges underneath. Tuck the ends together to form a continuous wreath. Trim any extra pastry and bake offcuts alongside.
5. Step 5: Cut three-quarters of the way through the pastry at regular intervals around the wreath to create individual sausage roll sections that remain joined at the center. Gently pull each piece outward to create some space between them.
6. Step 6: Brush the entire pastry wreath with the remaining beaten egg. Place sage leaves over some of the sections for aroma and visual appeal.
7. Step 7: Cut a cross into the top of the camembert. Spoon the remaining 1 tablespoon of chutney onto the cheese, then top with a couple of sage leaves and brush lightly with olive oil.
8. Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the sausage rolls are golden brown and the camembert is bubbling and melted.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add finely chopped garlic or black pepper to the sausage meat before filling the pastry.
• You can substitute pork sausages with vegetarian sausage alternatives for a meat-free version.
• If you don’t have caramelised onion chutney, replace it with your favorite chutney or a mixture of caramelised onions and a touch of honey.
• To make individual sausage rolls instead of a wreath, divide sausage mix and pastry into smaller portions and wrap them individually around the camembert.

Storage

Store any leftover sausage roll wreath chilled in an airtight container for up to 1 day. It is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a preheated oven at 160C for 10-15 minutes. You can freeze the assembled sausage rolls (without the camembert) for up to 1 month, then bake from frozen, adding extra time to ensure they are cooked through.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare this recipe in advance?

Yes, you can assemble the sausage roll wreath a day ahead and keep it chilled until ready to bake. Avoid adding the sage leaves and brushing with egg wash until just before baking for best results.

What can I serve with this dish?

This wreath pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or simply some crusty bread to soak up the melted camembert and chutney.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Sausage Rolls

• 320g sheet of puff pastry
• 3 tbsp caramelised onion chutney, divided
• 4 pork sausages, skins removed
• 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)
• 6–9 sage leaves
• Olive oil, for brushing

For the Baked Camembert

• 250g round of camembert
• Remaining 1 tbsp caramelised onion chutney (included above)
• A couple of sage leaves
• Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

1. Prepare the oven and baking tray: Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with baking parchment to prevent sticking and facilitate even baking.
2. Prepare the pastry and filling: Unroll the puff pastry and cut it lengthwise into two long strips. Spread 1 tablespoon of caramelised onion chutney evenly down the center of each strip. Divide the sausage meat from the removed sausage casings equally between the two strips, molding it back into sausage shapes along the chutney-lined center.
3. Seal the sausage rolls: Brush one edge of each pastry strip with the beaten egg, then fold the opposite edge over the filling to enclose it fully. Press firmly along the edges to seal the pastry.
4. Form the wreath around the camembert: Remove the camembert from its packaging and place it in the center of the prepared baking tray. Arrange the two sausage rolls by wrapping them around the cheese in a circular wreath shape. At each join, tuck one sausage roll strip into the other to create one continuous round. Trim any excess sausage roll length and bake any offcuts separately alongside the wreath.
5. Create bite-sized portions: Cut three-quarters of the way through the pastry at regular intervals around the wreath, creating individual bite-sized sausage rolls that remain joined at the center. Gently pull each piece outward slightly to form spaces between the rolls for a decorative effect.
6. Decorate with sage and egg wash: Brush the entire pastry wreath generously with the remaining beaten egg for a golden glaze. Place sage leaves over several of the sausage roll sections as garnish. Set aside or chill up to one day; the pastry wreath without the cheese can also be frozen for up to one month.
7. Prepare the camembert for baking: Cut a cross into the top of the camembert rind to help the cheese melt evenly. Spoon over the remaining 1 tablespoon of caramelised onion chutney, top with a couple of sage leaves, and brush lightly with olive oil.
8. Bake to perfection: Place the assembled wreath with the camembert in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Bake until the sausage rolls turn golden brown and the camembert melts into a luscious, creamy consistency.

Notes

• The sausage roll wreath can be made ahead and chilled overnight for convenience.
• For freezing, do so without the camembert to maintain freshness; thaw completely before adding cheese and baking.
• Use good-quality pork sausages for the best flavor and texture.
• Adjust the amount of chutney and sage leaves based on personal preference for stronger or milder flavors.
• Serve warm for gooey camembert and crisp pastry experience.
