Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package of flour tortillas
- 1 cup Boursin cheese
- 1 pound cooked sausage
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your pinwheels are perfectly cooked and slightly crispy.
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 package of flour tortillas, 1 cup of Boursin cheese, 1 pound of cooked sausage, 1/4 cup of chopped green onions, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, Boursin cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. You can use a fork or a spatula for this step.
- Lay out one flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spread a generous layer of the sausage and Boursin mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, creating a log shape. Make sure to roll it as tightly as possible without squeezing out the filling.
- Once rolled, place the tortilla seam-side down on a cutting board. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into pinwheels, about 1-inch thick. You should get about 8 pinwheels from each tortilla, depending on how thick you cut them.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, you can sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top for added flavor.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the pinwheels are heated through and slightly golden on the edges.
- Once cooked, remove the pinwheels from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
- Serve the Sausage and Boursin Pinwheels on a platter, and enjoy them as a delicious appetizer or snack!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just roll the pinwheels and bake them when you’re ready to serve!
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to get creative! You can add diced bell peppers, jalapeños, or even some shredded cheese to the filling for an extra kick of flavor.
- Perfectly Roll: When rolling the tortillas, make sure to keep them tight but not too tight, as you don’t want the filling to spill out. A tight roll will help the pinwheels hold their shape.
- Cutting Technique: Use a sharp knife to slice the pinwheels for a clean cut. If you find the knife sticking, try dipping it in warm water before cutting.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these pinwheels with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or a spicy aioli, to elevate the flavor even more.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store the pinwheels in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can be enjoyed cold or reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
