This sausage pinwheels recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that will quickly become a crowd favorite.
The recipe requires only three simple ingredients that are readily available in any grocery store. The combination of breakfast sausage and cream cheese creates a savory filling that is encased in a flaky pastry crust.
These pinwheels can be made using either crescent roll dough or thin pizza crust, depending on your preference.
If you’re in a hurry, you can use the pre-packaged crescent roll dough that is now available in a sheet format, making the preparation process even easier.
The sausage mixture is made by frying breakfast sausage and then adding cream cheese until it is well combined.
Once the sausage mixture is ready, it is spread onto the dough, rolled up, and cut into hearty slices.
The pinwheels are then baked until they are golden brown and crispy, giving them a delicious crunch.
These pinwheels are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a party, game night, or even a quick snack.
