SAUSAGE AND CHEESE ROLLS WITH SAGE OIL



Sausage and Cheese Rolls with Sage Oil image

Get creative with the fillings: Try different meats or go with all veggies.

Provided by Eddie Jackson

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 16 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
Pinch of red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, grated
Kosher salt
2 sweet Italian sausage links (about 6 ounces), casings removed
2 pounds refrigerated pizza dough
All-purpose flour, for dusting
12 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place a pizza stone on the middle oven rack and preheat to 500˚ F. Place a baking sheet on top of the pizza stone.
  • Warm the olive oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage, red pepper flakes and garlic. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly; season with salt.
  • Divide the sausage into 16 small balls. Cook in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Divide the dough into 16 balls (about 2 inches each). Flatten and shape each into a 3 1/2-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Put 1 piece of cooked sausage in the center of each round and top each with a few cubes of cheese. Very lightly brush the edges of the dough with water. Bring the edges of the dough toward the center, lightly pleating to form a tight package; pinch to seal. Turn seam-side down; using a metal skewer dipped in flour, make a hole in the center of each dough ball to create a steam vent.
  • Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and carefully line with parchment paper; place the dough balls on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Brush liberally with the sage oil. Transfer the baking sheet to the pizza stone and bake 5 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake until the rolls are golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with more sage oil. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately with the remaining sage oil for dipping.

Provided by Casey Foxy

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 22m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 (8 ounce) package brown and serve sausages, unthawed

Steps:

  • Combine flour and grated cheese in workbowl of food processor with mixing blade.
  • Gradually add just enough butter, teaspoon by teaspoon, using pulse mode, until dough forms a ball, and is not crumbly.
  • Reserve cheese pastry.
  • Cut each frozen, cooked sausage link into 4 equal pieces.
  • While still chilled, wrap each with enough of the cheese dough to form a walnut-sized ball.
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Place prepared sausage cheese balls on ungreased baking sheet, (about 20 per standard baking sheet), and bake 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Do not overcook.

  • Variations: Be creative with fillings, which could include small, cooked meatballs, button mushrooms, cocktail olives, cubes of ham or bacon.
  • Vary the cheese, using Muenster, Monterey Jack, Gouda, Swiss or other favorites.
  • The basic dough and sausage make this salty enough that unsalted butter is best here.
  • You may flavor dough with dillweed, sage, thyme, cracked black pepper, curry or chili powder or experiment adding small amounts of deli mustard and the like.
