Simple Pinwheels
8 oz cream cheese
16 oz sausage
Salt & Pepper
1 can crescent roll dough
Cook sausage on the stove top until brown, season with salt & pepper & remove from the heat. Mix cream cheese with the sausage. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a foil lined cookie sheet. Crimp together all of the preferred edges to create one large piece. Slice the dough in half length wise and spread mixture evenly over the 2 squares. Roll the dough up like a jelly roll. Wrap the dough in the foil and put in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Unwrap dough and slice into 1/4 inch pieces. Bake on cookie sheet or pizza stone for 15-20 minutes (watch closely from the 15 minute point). Transfer to a wire rack and let them cool for 5 - 10 minutes & serve.
Savory Pinwheels
8 oz chive and onion cream cheese
16 oz sausage
1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme
Salt & Pepper
Several dashes of hot sauce
1 can crescent rolls
Follow the same instructions as above just also add the thyme & hot sauce to the sausage in addition to the Salt & Pepper. I also think caramelized onions would be a wonderful addition.
Sweet Pinwheels
8 oz whipped cream cheese
16 oz sausage
1/2 Tbs Maple Syrup, plus extra for drizzle
1 can of crescent rolls
Follow the same instructions for the plain above, however add 1/2 Tablespoon of maple syrup to the sausage while cooking. While pinwheels are cooling drizzle extra syrup over the them - reminds me of pancakes and sausage - yum!
