My inspiration for this recipe was South African Bobotie. Bobotie is kind of South Africa’s version of meatloaf. Spiced meat is baked with an egg custard topping and it’s one of SA’s national dishes. I love the curry flavors in bobotie and decided to use that in this sausage roll recipe. They are the perfect appetizer and will be a hit with everyone you serve them to.

How to make sausage rolls
Can I make sausage rolls ahead?
The sausage rolls can be assembled a day in advance and kept covered in the fridge. Sausage rolls can be served at room temperature so you can bake them up to 4 hours before serving. Leftover rolls can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in a hot oven or air fryer.
