Instructions
Prepare the Beef Filling
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened.
Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned (about 5-6 minutes).
Mix in paprika, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in cheddar cheese.
Assemble the Rolls
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a 10×12-inch rectangle.
Cut the pastry into 6 equal strips (about 2 inches wide each).
Spoon 2-3 tbsp of beef filling onto one end of each strip.
Fold the pastry over the filling, then roll it up into a tight spiral. Press the edges to seal.
Place rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Bake to Golden Perfection
Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry rolls.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using).
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
Serve & Enjoy!
Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
