# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine the pork sausage meat, finely chopped onion, parsley, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly.
03 - Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut lengthwise into two equal strips.
04 - Divide the sausage mixture in half and shape each portion into a long log. Place each log along the edge of a pastry strip.
05 - Carefully roll each pastry strip over the sausage log, sealing the edge with beaten egg and positioning the seam underneath.
06 - Slice each roll into 6 to 8 pieces, approximately 2 inches each, producing 12 to 16 mini rolls in total.
07 - Place mini rolls seam side down in a half-circle wreath shape on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion.
08 - Brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame and/or poppy seeds if desired.
09 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until pastry is golden brown and sausage is cooked through.
10 - Allow rolls to cool slightly, then transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm with mustard or chutney.
