Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Hot Italian-style vegan sausage
  • 5 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained well
  • 4 ounces plain vegan cream cheese softened
  • 2 8-ounce packages refrigerated crescent dough

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Into a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble the sausage and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned. Drain to remove any excess grease and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the spinach and cream cheese; stir to combine.
  • On a parchment-lined surface roll out one package of crescent dough. Spread 1/2 of the sausage mixture over the dough leaving a 1/2-inch margin on each side. Starting at a shorter end, roll the dough into a log shape. Wrap in the parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining dough and sausage mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour to chill. Unbaked pinwheels can be refrigerated up to 1 day in advance.
  • Unwrap each pinwheel then use a serrated knife to slice into 1-inch rounds. Arrange at least 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake 13 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
