Ingredients

1½ pound pork sausage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
17 ounces frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 eggs, beaten
poppy seeds

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix sausage, basil, oregano, and thyme, until all the seasonings are evenly distributed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions and set aside.
On a floured surface, unfold the pastry dough and gently roll it out to slightly thin. Cut it into 3 long rectangle sections
Place sausage down the center of each section leaving an inch or so of pastry on either side. (The meat mixture was divided to help spread it evenly. Add two meat portions to each pastry rectangle.)
Bring the sides together, pinch to seal, and pat down slightly. Repeat with the remaining sausage and dough. Turn over (seam side down) and cut each "log" into 6 equal portions about 2 inches long.
Cut slits into each piece, brush the top with egg, and sprinkle on sesame seeds.
Place on a baking sheet, about one inch apart. Bake at 375°F for 17-19 minutes, or until golden brown and the meat is cooked.
Serve warm or cold, and ENJOY!

Notes

Prep ahead of time.

Fridge. Prepare as directed, but instead of baking, cover them with plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for 1-2 days. Bake as directed in the recipe.
Freezer. Freeze the sausage pieces for 2-3 hours before placing them together in a freezer Ziploc and freezing for up to 2 months. Bake straight from the freezer at 375°F for 25-30 minutes.

Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or toaster oven. If reheating several at once, then use the oven set at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or, if frozen, 20-25 minutes.
