Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the sausage, minced onions, bouillon, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and mustard.
Place the sheets of puff pastry on the cutting board and cut each sheet in half. Place one fourth of the sausage mixture down the long side of each puff pastry sheet half in a log shape.
Mix the egg and milk in a small bowl. Brush the egg mixture along the length of the puff pastry sheet on one side of the sausage mixture.
Starting with the sausage side of the puff pastry sheet, roll up each sheet and press the edge to seal. Brush the top of each roll with the egg mixture.
Use a small serrated knife to cut each log into 8 pieces. You will end up with 32 mini sausage rolls.
Transfer each piece to a baking pan lined with a silicone liner or parchment paper. Place the pieces an inch apart.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
When you remove the pan from the oven, immediately transfer the mini sausage rolls to a tray or platter lined with paper towels.
Serve the mini sausage rolls warm if desired or cool, then refrigerate (covered) if taking on a picnic.
