So, this morning I woke up wanting some nice and toasty Trader Joe’s Blueberry Waffles, with Canadian turkey bacon on the side. I’m not a big fan of eggs, so that’s usually no where on my radar. Imagine my surprise when I got downstairs only to discover my waffles were gone. Gone, as in I ate them all. The horror!
Then I remembered I still had the ingredients I needed to make the breakfast pinwheels I saw in The Hungry Girl newsletter. I made them before so I knew they were going to be good. The recipe is really easy and there are only two ingredients. Three if you count your appetite. The title is a bit deceiving since this recipe uses a vegetarian sausage.
As I said, the recipe is easy. Get out your baking sheet and preheat that oven to 350 degrees. I’m all about the no clean up school of baking so I use parchment paper on my cookie sheet. It protects your pinwheel bottoms and there’s no what? Clean. Up. Line that cookie sheet! If you don’t have parchment paper than don’t worry about it. Just spray it with non-stick spray.
When you unroll your dough, it’s supposed to be seamless. As you can see, mine wasn’t. there was a tear going along the spiral of the container. Don’t panic, just pinch it together and keep moving. Gently spread out your dough along the sides so you’ll have a good sized rectangle.
Sprinkle your ‘sausage” crumbles evenly over the top and press them into the dough. You’ll thank me later when your crumbles aren’t falling out out the creases while you’re trying to eat them.
Roll ‘er up!
Now, for the very mathematical part. Eyeball eight portions and make seven cut marks. Told you it was all about the math. Making the marks will help you to see if they are evenly portioned.
Cut the sections and space them out on the cookie sheet. If you have stray crumbles, pounce on them with the dough to reassimilate them into The Collective…I mean dough! (You will get that if you watched Star Trek the Next Generation)
Pop them into the oven until browned and viola, she is done. They are sooo good right out of the oven. Yum! The two ends never stood a chance.
Now that you see how easy this is, I’m sure you’re anxious to try them yourself. Let’s put it all together.
