You could make this recipe vegetarian, using these Glamorgan sausages or ready-made vegan/vegetarian sausages. For vegan sausage rolls, do swap the butter for olive oil.
Store-bought sausage can contain more sodium than the homemade version, and there's more sugar and corn syrup, too. Some breakfast sausage connoisseurs prefer a more sweet than savory sausage ...
Leave the vegetarian rolls in the fridge while you prepare the meat ones. For the mini sausage rolls with thyme, place the sausage meat, cheese and thyme in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
