Kickstart your day with indulgent Sausage & Cheese Breakfast Tornadoes. Easy to make, loaded with flavor, and irresistibly satisfying!
Ingredients
- • puff pastry sheets: 2 (store-bought, thawed)
- • breakfast sausage: 8 oz (crumbled)
- • cheddar cheese: 1 cup (shredded)
- • cream cheese: 4 oz (softened)
- • scallions: 2 (sliced thinly)
- • egg: 1 (beaten, for egg wash)
- • black pepper: 1/2 tsp
- • garlic powder: 1/2 tsp
- • smoked paprika: 1/4 tsp
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- 3 In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, scallions, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until well combined.
- 4 Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into four equal squares.
- 5 Spoon a generous amount of the sausage and cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Fold the corners over the filling to form a tornado shape, pinching the edges to seal.
- 6 Place the tornadoes on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish during baking.
- 7 Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- 8 Allow the tornadoes to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the flaky, cheesy, savory goodness!
Serving Suggestions
- • These Savory Sausage & Cheese Breakfast Tornadoes are perfect on their own, but you can elevate your breakfast spread by serving them with a side of fresh fruit salad for a touch of sweetness. A simple arugula and cherry tomato salad with a light vinaigrette complements the richness of the tornadoes and adds a refreshing contrast. To complete the breakfast experience, pair these indulgent tornadoes with a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee or a frothy cappuccino. For something a bit more festive, a glass of mimosa or freshly squeezed orange juice works beautifully.
Storage Tips
To store any leftovers, allow the tornadoes to cool completely and place them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it may make the pastry soggy.
