Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (2 packets)
1 1/4 cups warm milk (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup honey
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted (divided))
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped scallions
4 ounces pepper jack cheese (shredded)
6 large eggs (scrambled)
1/2 cup Jones Dairy Farm Dry Aged Bacon (cooked and chopped)
7 ounce package Jones Dairy Farm Fully Cooked Sausage links (sliced)
4 ounces cheddar cheese (shredded)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 350°F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook; add yeast, milk and honey. Swirl with a spoon to dissolve the yeast. Allow the mixture to rest until the yeast becomes foamy and aromatic, about 3 minutes.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 1/2 cups flour, mix on low until smooth. Add remaining flour to form a soft dough. Add salt. Allow to knead for about 3 minutes. Ball of dough should be slightly sticky.
  • Meanwhile, grease 9"x13" baking pan with 2 tablespoons remaining melted butter. Set aside.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured countertop and form into a ball. Roll the dough out into a 12"x18" wide rectangle. Sprinkle the scallions and pepperjack cheese evenly over the dough leaving a 1" border on the top edge. Lightly press the scallions and cheese into the dough with fingertips or rolling pin.
  • Add eggs, bacon and sausage in alternating rows over the top. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over top.
  • Starting at the long edge, fold the edge of the dough on top of itself and begin tightly rolling the dough away, pinching the ingredients into the roll. Use the last 1" to seal the roll. Cut dough roll in quarters. Cut each of those pieces into 3 pieces for 12 pieces.
  • Arrange the pinwheels cut side up on the buttered baking sheet, spread them out so they are not touching. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Brush with remaining 3 tablespoons melted butter.
  • Serve and enjoy!

SAUSAGE, CREAM CHEESE PINWHEELS RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Sausage, Cream Cheese Pinwheels Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Lsweetnell

Number Of Ingredients 4

For Pie Crust:
8 8 package 8 oz package cream cheese
1 1 about 1 lb sausage (I like Jimmy Dean regular)
1 1 1 package of crescent rolls (can use pie crust-see below)

Steps:

  • 1. Crumble sausage and cook thoroughly in a pan. Drain fat from pan and allow sausage to cool. 2. Combine cream cheese and sausage in a bowl and mix well. 3. Open package of crescents and roll out into a rectangle on a flat surface without separating the crescents. Press together and seal the perforated lines in the rolls. 4. Spoon sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the dough, spreading all over. 5. Roll the dough lengthwise. Wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or throw it in the freezer if you're in a hurry. You could also make it the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight. The main thing is to get the roll firm enough to slice easily. 6. Cut slices to about 1/4 inch and place on cookie sheet. 7. Bake at 375 degrees for about 13-15 minutes or until they are golden on top.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a sharp knife to cut the dough into even strips.
  • If the dough is too sticky, chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • To make sure the pinwheels are cooked evenly, bake them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Let the pinwheels cool slightly before slicing them, to prevent the filling from oozing out.
  • Serve the pinwheels warm or at room temperature, with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Cheesy sausage pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty snack that will be a hit with everyone.
