  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 each egg For egg wash.
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
  3. In a bowl, mix the sausage, cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the puff pastry.
  5. Roll the pastry tightly into a log and slice it into 1-inch pinwheels.
  6. Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Beat the egg and brush it over each pinwheel for a golden finish.
Baking

Notes

Serve warm on a platter. They pair well with mustard, ketchup, or a simple ranch dip. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best crispness. Chill the log 10 minutes before slicing to keep neat pinwheels.
