These savory vegetarian puff pastry bites are a delightful twist on the classic sausage roll, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking tray by lightly greasing it.
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and a perfectly golden pastry.
In a food processor, combine the cottage cheese, walnuts, egg, onion, and soy sauce. Process until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the oats and breadcrumbs until fully incorporated.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the oats to absorb some moisture.
Cut each puff pastry sheet in half lengthwise. Spoon or pipe the filling along one edge of each strip.
Using a piping bag can make filling the pastry quicker and more uniform.
Brush the opposite edge of the pastry with milk, then roll the pastry over the filling to enclose it. Press gently to seal.
Ensure the seam is on the bottom to prevent it from opening during baking.
Cut each roll into 5 equal pieces and place them on the prepared baking tray. Brush the tops with milk and prick with a fork.
Pricking the pastry allows steam to escape, preventing sogginess.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Rotate the tray halfway through baking for even browning.
Allow the bites to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
Serve with a dipping sauce like tomato chutney or a yogurt-based dip for added flavor.
