These little pinwheels are great party food. You could add in seasonings or various flavored sausage if you like but it is delicious just the way it is.

I would love to try using puff pastry and possibly maple sausage since I have experienced many times the deliciousness that is maple sausage + cream cheese.

Sausage Cream Cheese Pinwheels
Flavorful sausage and cream cheese are rolled up in crescent dough, sliced and baked to make the perfect party food!
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper Sheets
Ingredients
- 2 tubes crescent dough
- 1 lb. sausage cooked and fat drained
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Open the tubes of crescent dough and lay out on a piece of parchment paper. Press the seams together so there aren’t any large gaps.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage and cream cheese and stir to combine. Add the mixture evenly between the two sheets of crescent dough. Roll up the longer sides into a pinwheel. Wrap tightly in parchment or plastic wrap and chill for an hour or longer.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375-f degrees. Slice into 1/2″ thick pieces (slice thinner if you prefer, baking time may be less if thinner) and bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 10-14 minutes, until lightly browned on the edges. Let cool and transfer to a platter.

I'm stopping by from your awesome link party, Recipe Sharing Monday, to see your recipe. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe and for hosting every week. This looks yummy and easy. Happy New Year! HUGS!
This has been our Christmas morning breakfast sine I was a child. Before the big dinner at 2:00. Many, many moons ago! I have never cooked the sausage first. Just roll up and freeze until easy to slice. Then freeze until ready to use!! Great make-ahead
I add fresh diced jalapeños to mine.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Can I make ahead and how is best to store until use?
Hi Cindy – I haven’t baked these and then reheated on another day. I can’t vouch for how they would turn out that way.
If you were to make them ahead of time, I would prepare them, sliced with the filling, but not bake them. I would flash freeze them on a parchment lined baking sheet and then put in a ziploc when they are fully frozen through. You would want to add a few minutes to the baking time.
Alternatively, you could prepare the filling and store it in the fridge and assemble them the same day you plan to serve.
