These cook-from-frozen blue cheese and walnut sausage rolls make entertaining a breeze. We love the combination of salty sausagemeat and Saint Agur Blue Cheese with sweet dates. Give them a go and watch them disappear in seconds.

Ingredients
- 50g walnut halves
- 500g puff pastry, chilled
- Plain flour for dusting
- 350g-400g pork sausagemeat or 6 good quality free-range pork sausages, such as cumberland, skins removed
- 150g stilton, rind removed and crumbled

- 2 tbsp freshly chopped flatleaf parsley
- 1 medium free-range egg, lightly beaten
- Butter for greasing
Watch our video to see how they are made:
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Spread the walnuts out on a baking tray and toast for 6 minutes. Remove and leave to cool, then coarsely chop.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 40cm x 26cm rectangle, then cut in half lengthways to make two long strips.
- Put the pork sausagemeat, walnuts, stilton, dates and parsley in a mixing bowl, then mix together with your hands until well combined. Divide the mixture in half and shape each half on a sheet of cling film to make 2 long sausage shapes the same length as your pastry.
- Lay one sausage down the centre of each piece of pastry, brush 1 edge of the pastry with a little beaten egg, fold over the pastry and press the edges together to seal. Mark along the edge with the tines of a fork. Cut each strip across to make 12 rolls (see Make Ahead) or chill, spaced slightly apart, on buttered baking sheets, loosely covered with cling film, until ready to bake.
- Brush with a little more beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Serve warm.

I find it disappointing that the PRINT settings do not include the image of the dish. I also find the print itself to be very small and all too often obscured or blacked out by other intrusive images. I love what is on the site – it really is my “go to” but I do not like the way it works at all, especially the scrolling of the header bar – a real nuisance.
