4-Ingredient Cheesy Sausage Pinwheels

Ingredients

• 2 oz crescent dough sheets (8-ounce packages; or crescent rolls with seams pinched together)
• 1 lb breakfast sausage roll (divided in half)
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (divided)
• 1.5 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. 2

   Unroll each sheet of crescent dough sheets. If you are using crescent rolls instead of sheets, pinch the seams together to form one solid, continuous sheet.

3. 3

   Divide the breakfast sausage roll in half and spread each half evenly into a very thin layer over the dough sheets.

4. 4

   Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard over each sausage-topped sheet and top evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese.

5. 5

   Beginning with the longer side of the dough, roll it securely into a log.

6. 6

   If the dough has become too soft or warm to handle, place it in the freezer for 10 minutes before slicing.

7. 7

   Slice each roll into 22 (1/2 inch) slices, for a total of 44 pinwheels.

8. 8

   Place the slices on 2 lightly greased, parchment-lined baking sheets.

9. 9

   Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and toasted on the bottom, about 12 to 14 minutes.

Notes

If the dough becomes too warm while assembling, a quick 10-minute chill in the freezer makes slicing much cleaner and easier.
