Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Sausage Sandwich

The Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Sausage Sandwich is a flavor-packed, no-fuss meal that’s ideal for any time of day. With juicy sausage patties, smoky Manchego-stuffed peppers, and a punchy black olive tapenade, this sandwich is anything but ordinary. I tried it for a weekend lunch and was amazed by how gourmet it tasted with just five ingredients. (inspired by Jamie Oliver)

Ingredients Needed

• 4 brioche buns
• 6 sausages (400g total)
• 4 large jarred roasted red peppers (whole)
• 80g Manchego cheese
• 4 teaspoons black olive tapenade

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Sausage Sandwich

• Toast the Buns: Start by halving the brioche buns and toasting them in a dry, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Just a minute or two until they’re golden and warm. Set them aside once done.
• Make the Patties: Remove the skins from the sausages and divide the meat into four equal portions. Wet your hands to stop the meat from sticking, then shape each one into a flat patty about 1cm thick.
• Cook the Patties: In the same pan, add a splash of olive oil and cook the patties for about 2 minutes on each side. They should be golden and fully cooked through. Transfer them to a plate while you prepare the rest.
• Stuff the Peppers: Drain your jarred peppers and cut the Manchego into four thick slices. Carefully stuff each pepper with a slice of cheese. Pop them into the hot pan and cook just until the cheese starts to melt and ooze, turning gently to heat through.
• Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread 1 teaspoon of black olive tapenade on the base of each toasted bun. Add a sausage patty, top with a Manchego-stuffed pepper, and crown it with the top half of the bun.
• Serve and Enjoy: These are best served straight away—gooey, melty, and full of flavor.

Why I Love This Recipe

This sausage sandwich blew me away with how indulgent and gourmet it tasted using just five ingredients. The sweetness of the roasted red peppers and the salty Manchego cheese work beautifully with the rich sausage. I made this for brunch one Saturday and everyone asked for seconds—definitely going into my regular rotation.

Recipe Tips

• Wet your hands before shaping the patties to keep them from sticking.
• Lightly toast the buns for extra crunch and to stop them from getting soggy.
• Don’t overstuff the peppers to avoid cheese leaking out during cooking.
• Use good quality sausage—it makes all the difference in flavor.
• Serve immediately so everything stays hot and melty.

How To Store This Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Sausage Sandwich

• At Room Temperature Eat it fresh! This sandwich doesn’t hold well at room temp for more than 1 hour.
• In the Fridge Keep the patties, buns, and peppers in separate airtight containers for up to 2 days.
• In the Freezer Not ideal for freezing fully assembled, but you can freeze the cooked patties for up to 1 month.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Can I use another cheese instead of Manchego?
  Definitely! A mild cheddar or mozzarella would also melt well and taste great.
• What kind of sausage should I use?
  Any high-quality pork sausage works best. Avoid heavily seasoned ones to let the other ingredients shine.
• Can I make this sandwich vegetarian?
  Sure thing! Try a veggie sausage and stuff the peppers with a plant-based cheese.
• Do I need to use tapenade?
  It adds a bold, briny note, but if you’re not a fan, try a spread of pesto or even hummus.
• Can I grill these instead?
  Yes, grill the patties and toast the buns on a barbecue for extra smokiness.
