3-Ingredient Breakfast Pinwheels

5 out of 5 dentists agree that flossing is good for your teeth. (Or maybe it's your gums?) Either way, floss is fabulous. At least to them. But fun? Not so much. Until now. : )

Did you know you can use this stuff to make an easy weekend breakfast? I keep a little package in a kitchen drawer for this very purpose.

With floss, just 3 (count 'em, three) ingredients, and 10 minutes of prep tops... you're on your way to a winning meal!

3-Ingredient Breakfast Pinwheels

Prep Time: 10 minutes / Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 16 pinwheels

Ingredients

• 1 8-ounce can refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 lb. breakfast sausage
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350*.
• Unroll crescents into four rectangular pieces, leaving two rolls connected in each piece.

• Pinch diagonal dough seams together.
• Spread 1/4 of sausage evenly over each rectangle.
• Sprinkle cheese evenly over sausage.

• Roll each rectangle into a spiral, starting on the short edge.

• Cut a 12" piece of dental floss or thread. Crisscross around center of first dough log as if you were just beginning to tie your shoes (but don't thread it).

• Tug right and left so that floss slices through dough, creating a disc.

• Repeat method, slicing each log into four discs.
• Arrange pinwheels on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until crescents are golden brown, sausage is done, and cheese is bubbling.
• Serve immediately.

Great not just for breakfast or brunch, but also as an easy appetizer!
