- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 8 oz breakfast sausage
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp water
How to make Cranberry-Sage Sausage Pinwheel Pastries
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a medium skillet, cook the 8 oz breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess grease thoroughly and transfer the cooked sausage to a mixing bowl.
- Add the 2 oz softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cranberries, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper to the cooked sausage. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Carefully unroll the 1 sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface or a piece of parchment paper. If frozen, ensure it is thawed according to package directions but still cold.
- Evenly spread the sausage mixture over the entire surface of the puff pastry, leaving a small 1/2-inch border along one long edge uncovered. This will help seal the roll.
- Starting from the long edge opposite the uncovered border, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Once rolled, gently pinch the seam to seal it.
- Slice the log into 12-14 equal 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife. Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush the tops and sides of each pinwheel with the egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Serve warm and enjoy these savory breakfast treats.
