[...] recently used it when I whipped up a batch of my healthy chicken sausage rolls with great success. The non-stick nylon base was also perfect for use on my precious Bessemer pot [...]

Hi Suzy, Glad you like these. I generally freeze half of them uncooked straight away just so I don’t gorge on them! :)

Wow, how absolutely wonderful. I had to stop at four but will save some for later, what a delight!

Never thought of adding grated apple – that is a great idea!

When in America recently, I had a hamburger that had fresh cherries added to the beef pattie. It was the best burger I have ever eaten! I substituted fresh cherries instead of apple to your recipe and result was amazing. I am going to experiment with other fruits.

I love this. I made something similar last fall with sausage, apple, and zucchini in a puff pastry hand pie – a pithivier. This is a great variation, and I’d love to try it. I like the inclusion of the mustard to give the filling a bit of depth.

This look deliciously buttery flaky goodness and yet..healthy?

Ok so the pastry will probably pack a few calories but the addition of apple to keep the lean chicken breast mince moist and luscious is a clever addition.

An alternative using filo pastry (perhaps folded into triangles or parcels?) would be an even lower calorie option.

This is fabulous, thanks for posting Christie! I’m trying to not eat read meat anymore and sausage rolls did appear on my mental ‘Oh darn , I can’t eat that anymore’ list. Sounds like a yummy alternative!

@Sophie – There’s some left for you Soph!

Save one of these for me! They look amazing and perfectly crispy. I love savory breakfast recipes :). Have a great weekend!

The recipe sounds scrumptious. However, I will never understand why seemingly “most” amateur food photographers feel the need to use such a narrow depth of field in their photographs. Particularly in an instance like this one where it is so obviously faked. Why on earth is the roll on the left forefront so blurred yet the sauce – in the same photographic plane – is amazingly clear? It has become cliché.

If that gorgeous picture isn’t enough to make a girl crave sausage rolls, then the words, “fresh chicken breast mince” just put it all over the top.

The combination of puff pastry and {that gloriously worded} mince sounds divine!

I’m so glad I clicked over from FlourArrangements. Your blog is lovely!

They look great and I agree homemade sausage rolls are so easy to put together if you have premade pastry. No excuse to buy those horrible ones with who knows what inside them!

Can’t wait for the fridge round up
