I keep things under control, but getting to sample a plethora of dishes is food heaven for me. I’m totally that person who gets to a restaurant and can’t decide because 3 or 4 things sound awesome and I want a little of each. Thank goodness my husband is the sharing type.

Pinwheel recipesare one of my favorite easy appetizers.

Love love love any recipe that makes my parties easier!

These Sausage Pinwheels are one of my go-to year round pinwheels. Just a few simple flavors combine to create an addictively good party bite. I’m a garlic loverand put 2 cloves in my cream cheese mixture. If you like your garlic on the tame side, one clove will do just fine.

Prep Time 12 minutes mins

Ingredients

1 pound breakfast sausage
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
4 tablespoons green onions thinly sliced (green parts only)
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
12 inch tortillas 3 of them

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the sausage until browned, about 8 minutes. Be sure to break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined bowl to drain while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
To a medium mixing bowl add the cream cheese, garlic, green onions, mustard, salt, pepper, and sausage. Use a wooden spoon or sturdy rubber spatula to mix everything together until evenly combined.
Spread 1/3 of the filling over one of the tortillas. I ignore the outer 2-inches on the left and right sides of the tortilla since those usually get discarded anyway.
Gently roll up the tortilla until it forms a long. Set aside, seam side down, and repeat with the two remaining tortillas.
Use a sharp knife to cut off both end of the tortilla log to where the filling starts. Cut the logs into 1/2-inch slices. Transfer to a serving platter.
Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve (or up to 2 hours).

Notes

You can substitute 10-inch or 8-inch tortillas if needed. The amount of pinwheels will vary with the tortilla size change, but you should get a few more since you can fill more tortillas. They just won't be as big around.
