Sausage Pinwheels on a Budget (Christmas Treats Day 10!)

puff pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Whole wheat pastry adds fiber while homemade dough can reduce costs.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories; American cheese is often less expensive.

sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Turkey sausage is leaner, while ground beef can be more affordable.

egg

🥗Healthier: flax egg

💰Cheaper: water

Flax egg is a vegan alternative, while water can be used for a wash.

Prep green onions and mince garlic.

Brown the sausage in a skillet.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, minced garlic, green onions, dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and browned sausage until well combined.

Spread one-third of the mixture on each of the three tortillas, leaving space on the ends.

Roll each tortilla tightly, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Slice the pinwheels after refrigerating.
