# Ingredients Required:

03 - 15 ml tomato ketchup
04 - 5 ml Worcestershire sauce
05 - 5 ml Dijon mustard

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Heat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, mix ground pork, French onion soup mix (or sautéed onions and onion powder), tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and freshly cracked black pepper until well blended.
03 - Roll out each puff pastry sheet and cut in half lengthwise. Distribute the filling along one edge of each strip, then roll pastry over to encase the filling. Seal edges using water or egg wash.
04 - Beat the egg with milk and brush the mixture over the tops of the rolls to ensure a golden, glossy finish.
05 - Place the assembled rolls onto the prepared tray and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
06 - Allow the rolls to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with dips or sides.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For a vegetarian option, replace ground pork with plant-based mince. Add cheese or fresh herbs to the filling for enhanced flavor.
