Posted By Savita
Italian Chicken Sausage wrapped in puff pastry to make small pin wheels and then baked till golden from outside. Cheese in Italian sausage oozes out and sausage get nice caramelized at the bottom to make it an excellent crowed entertainer appetizer. You can wrap sausage in pastry sheet in advance and can even freeze some wrapped pins for later. Remove from freezer just 30 minutes before baking and serve your guests warm, fresh from the oven delicious mini chicken in the blanket.

Ingredients
- 1/2 Puff Pastry (1/2 packet - one out of set of two sheets, makes about 2 dozen)
- 3 Chicken Sausage (I have used JOHNSONVILLE Three Cheese Italian Chicken Sausage)
- 4 tbsp Parsley (fine chopped)
- 1 Egg(s) (1 egg mixed with 1 tbsp water for brushing)
Directions
- 1. Thaw puff pastry sheet in refrigerator. Dust some flour on a work board. Spread a puff pastry sheet, roll it slightly (don't put lots of pressure or pastries will not rise in oven)
-
2. Divide pastry sheet in two halves using sharp knife. Keep one half in refrigerator while you work on first half. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of chopped cilantro on the sheet. And slice the sheet with sharp knife to half inch wide strips. -
3. Slice the sausage into 1 inch thick discs. -
4. Place a sausage slice on one puff pastry sheet strip and wrap the sheet around the sausage just once or max 1 and 1/2 turns and then cut the ends. Repeat the same with remaining strips and sausage slices. Place on a tray (which can fit in refrigerator) lined with aluminum foil and place in refrigerator while you work on other half of the puff pastry sheet. Additional Notes:
In order to keep Sausage Pin Wheels small in size, I have just wrapped puff pastry sheet around sausage only one and a half times. However, if you like big wheels, you can repeat the sheet a couple of times. -
5. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil or silicon sheet. Once all sausage are wrapped, place sausage discs on the sheet a little distance apart to give room for rising and expansion. -
6. Brush with egg wash and bake in 450 Degree F preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Serve hot and Enjoy!!!
