How to Make Sausage Pinwheels

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press seams and perforations together to create a single, large rectangle.
  3. Roll the dough into a 14-inch x 10-inch rectangle.
  4. Evenly spread the cooked sausage meat over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.
  5. Sprinkle evenly with chopped chives and shredded cheese.
  6. Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  7. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices.
  8. Place the pinwheels 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
