Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 large eg g
  • 1 tablespoon wate r

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage until browned and crumbled; drain all excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, and chopped green onions until the mixture is well incorporated.
  • Unfold the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface and flatten any seams with a rolling pin.
  • Spread half of the sausage mixture onto each pastry sheet in an even layer, leaving a 0.5-inch border on all sides.
  • Roll each pastry sheet tightly into a log, starting from the long side, and pinch the edges to seal the seam.
  • Using a sharp serrated knife, cut each log into 12 equal slices approximately 0.5 inches thick.
  • Place the slices onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart.
  • Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl to create an egg wash; brush the top and sides of each pinwheel.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  • Allow the pinwheels to rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
