How to Make the BEST Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Pinwheels Recipe

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Cheesy Sausage Pinwheels: Self rising flour, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, cooked breakfast sausage, shredded colby jack cheese, Dijon mustard, green onions and buttermilk.
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: Large bowl, medium bowl, whisk, pastry mat, measuring cups and spoons, skillet, spoon, sharp knife and cutting board, cheese grater, sheet pans.
  • You can use mild or spicy sausage for the filling, the choice is completely up to you.
  • For an added layer of flavor, I like to brush the homemade biscuit dough with melted butter and Dijon mustard. It’s a simple touch that gives the flavor of the pinwheels a little extra something special.
  • For a time saver, you can fully assemble one day in advance. When doing so, wrap in plastic wrap and chill then slice into pinwheels just before baking.
  • It’s important  to use a sharp knife to slice into pinwheels. If you assemble in advance I recommend that you wait and brush with butter, just before baking.
  • Store baked Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Pinwheels in an airtight container chilled in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or an air fryer.
