SAUSAGE PINWHEELS

These spirals are simple to make but look so special on a buffet. Our guests eagerly help themselves—and sometimes the eye-catching pinwheels never even make it to their plates!

—Gail Sykora, Menomonee Falls, WI

Takes: 30 min. • Makes: 1 dozen

1 tube (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent rolls

1/2 lb. uncooked bulk pork sausage

2 Tbsp. minced chives

1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Unroll the crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface; press the perforations to seal. Roll into a 14x10-in. rectangle.

2. Spread the sausage to within 1/2 in. of edges. Sprinkle with chives. Roll up carefully jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices; place 1 in. apart in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. pan.

3. Bake until golden brown and the sausage is cooked through, 12-16 minutes.
