- Caramelize the Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions with a pinch of salt; sauté for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Prepare the Filling: Let caramelized onions cool. In a bowl, combine ground sausage with onions, thyme, salt, pepper, Gruyère cheese, and Dijon mustard.
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll out puff pastry into rectangles. Place the filling in each, fold, seal with a fork, and brush with beaten egg.
- Bake: Arrange rolls on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden. Cool slightly before serving.
