. Preheat the Oven and Prep the Baking Sheet:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Sausage Filling:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine sausage meat, grated cheddar, panko breadcrumbs, one egg, and chopped thyme.
• Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.

3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry:

• Lightly flour your work surface.
• Roll out each sheet of puff pastry to smooth the surface, then cut each sheet into two long strips, creating four strips in total.

4. Assemble the Sausage Rolls:

• Divide the sausage mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a long rope.
• Place a sausage rope in the center of each puff pastry strip.
• Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard along one edge of the pastry. Brush the opposite edge with egg wash.
• Roll the pastry tightly around the sausage, sealing the seam underneath.

5. Slice and Decorate:

• Cut each roll into 1½-inch pieces and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
• Lightly brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.

6. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
• Remove from the oven when the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

7. Finish with Hot Honey:

• Let the sausage rolls cool for a few minutes, then drizzle with hot honey and garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
• Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
