Instructions
Instructions:
Toast the vegsausage patties for 14 minutes at 400°F. After they have cooled, cut them in quarters and pulse them in a food processor until they are size and consistency of ground beef.
Prepare the ingredients as described in the ingredients list.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the mushrooms, onion, and salt.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushroom mixture is very tender, about 6-8 minutes.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the ground veg sausage, cream cheese, and 1/2 c of cheddar until well blended.
Heat the oven to 400°F.
Lay the puff pastry sheets down on a cutting board. Brush with egg.
Sprinkle with the remaining 4 T of shredded cheddar.
Spread the filling mixture on the pastry sheets evenly.
Roll the sheets into very very loose tubes.
Cut them into half inch slices with a sharp knife carefully (total of 20 slice).
Lay slices flat on a greased baking sheet, and spread out into a wide circle to give the puff pastry room to expand.
Brush with the remaining beaten egg.
Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the pastry on the inside of the swirl is cooked and the pastry is golden brown.
