1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup fennel bulb, finely chopped
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. Brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg for a golden finish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage is fully cooked.
8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
