Instructions
How to Make Sausage Pinwheels
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the Sausage Pinwheels will bake evenly and become perfectly golden brown.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry. Aim for a rectangle shape, about 1/8 inch thick, for the best results.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and crumbly—about 5-7 minutes.
- Carefully spread the cooked sausage evenly across the pastry. Then generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions on top.
- Roll the pastry tightly into a log, ensuring the filling stays inside. Slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
- Place the pinwheels on your prepared baking sheet. Brush them with the egg wash to achieve that stunning golden crust, then bake for 15-20 minutes until they are puffed and golden.
Notes
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra treat.
