Spicy Pumpkin Pinwheels
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces bulk spicy Italian sausage
One box Pepperidge Farm frozen puff pastry 2 sheets, thawed
6 tablespoons canned pumpkin purée, divided
1-1/2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese, divided
4 tablespoons chopped green onion, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage, divided
For Serving: Crème Fraîche sauce, below
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a sauté pan, cook the sausage over medium heat, stirring until browned and crumbly; drain on paper towels.
On a lightly floured surface, unroll pastry sheets. Spread each sheet with 3 tablespoons pumpkin. Sprinkle each sheet with half of each: sausage, cheese, green onion, and sage; gently press down into the pastry. Roll each sheet into a log, pinching seams to seal. Cut each log into 12 slices. Place 2 inches apart on prepared pans.
Bake until lightly browned on bottom, approximately 10 minutes. Turn pinwheels over and bake 7 minutes more. Let cool on the sheet trays before serving.
