Sausage Cream Cheese Pinwheels

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. Mix until well incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
4. Roll the pastry tightly into a log from the shorter end, ensuring the filling stays inside.
5. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the pastry is cooked through.
7. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve warm.

Chef’s Tips

• Ensure the cream cheese is soft to mix easily with the sausage.
• Thaw the puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight for easier handling.
• Experiment with adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
