      Step 1: Prepare the Puff Pastry Rolls

      1. Preheat the oven:
        • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
      2. Prepare the puff pastry:
        • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 1/4-inch thickness.
        • Cut the puff pastry into rectangles large enough to wrap each sausage.
      3. Assemble the rolls:
        • Spread 60g tomato sauce evenly over each piece of puff pastry.
        • Place one sausage on each piece of puff pastry.
        • Sprinkle grated cheese over the sausage.
        • Roll the puff pastry around the sausage, sealing the edges.
      4. Brush with egg wash:
        • Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
        • Brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg to ensure a golden color when baked.
      5. Bake the rolls:
        • Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy.

      Step 2: Prepare the Mustard Butter Sauce

      1. Combine ingredients:
        • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 150g soft butter.
        • Add 15g chopped scallions and 6g minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
        • Stir in 20g mustard and 20g mustard seeds. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
      2. Serve the sauce:
        • Transfer the sauce to a small serving bowl and set aside for dipping.

      Step 3: Serve

      • Remove the puff pastry rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly.

        Cooking Tips:
