1/2 pounds Italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 egg

1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Using pulse, process until blended.
Season with salt and pepper.
On a flat, floured working surface, unfold the puff pastry.
Roll out into a 20x10-inch rectangle.
Cut pastry crosswise into 10x4-inch strips.
Brush each strip with beaten egg.
Spoon 1/3 of the sausage mixture in narrow strip lengthwise down the center of each pastry strip.
Fold the long sides in covering the filling and overlapping slightly.
Transfer and arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover and chill until rolls are set (at least 1 hour).

Cut each roll crosswise into 8 pieces.
Separate pieces on the baking sheet.
Brush with remaining beaten egg.
Place the pieces onto a greased or parchment paper lined baking sheet, leaving spaces between them.
