6. Using a sharp knife, cut the rolls into slices about 1 1/2 inches thick. Arrange them on a broiler pan or a wire rack set on top of a baking sheet. Brush the slices with the remaining beaten egg and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden.
7. Serve the slices warm with the Worcestershire sauce on the side for dipping.

Note: When serving the sausage rolls, make multiple batches and cook only a few at a time. They are best when served straight from the oven. Sausage rolls can be made up to two weeks in advance and kept in the freezer.
