Sausage Pinwheels
These sausage pinwheels come together with three simple ingredients. They are the perfect make ahead quick and easy breakfast!
Cooking from scratch is always preferable. I love waking up and making a dutch baby, breakfast casserole, oatmeal, or sourdough waffles. From scratch isn’t always in the cards for me though. Some mornings I need something prepped and ready that only took a few minutes to throw together.
That is exactly what these pinwheels are. Quick, easy, make ahead, and delicious. They are kid friendly and will disappear before your eyes off the pan.
Technically you could make your own crescent roll dough. Add some good quality sausage and raw cheese and these turn into a from scratch meal. I’m sure they would be a new favorite in your home.
My sister made these one time that I was at her house and hands were flying to grab more. We usually make them for our Sunday morning breakfast since we are all busy getting ready for worship. It’s an easy Saturday night throw together and people can grab them as they get ready.
Why You’ll Love These Pinwheels
Quick and Easy- With only three ingredients and a few simple steps these really couldn’t get easier. They come together in minutes and still yield a delicious breakfast for everyone.
Make Ahead- I am all about making life easier. Especially on days I know I will have a lot going on. I can throw these together the night before and simple slice and bake the next morning!
Versatile- You can spice these up with some hot sausage. The cheese can be switched out for whatever flavor you like or just use up all the little bits of cheese you have left in your fridge. You could even make some dough from scratch for a healthier alternative.
Ingredients
How to Make Sausage Pinwheels
On a piece of parchment roll out one tube of the crescent dough sheets. Use half the lb of breakfast sausage and place all over the dough. Then add half the cheese over the top.
Roll up the dough starting at the long end of the pinwheels. Wrap them with Saran Wrap and store them in the fridge. Repeat the first few steps to create the second half of the pinwheels.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the pinwheels from the fridge and slide them about 1/2 inch thick and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes or until browned. Repeat with the second half of the pinwheels. Serve with jelly.
