Cheesy Sausage Pinwheels

1 (16 oz.) roll of your favorite sausage

1/4 cup shredded asiago cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1 egg, beaten

1 tube of crescent rolls

1. Preheat oven to 375.

2. Cook crumbled sausage and drain well.

3. Beat the egg. Then add sausage, the cheeses, thyme, and the egg in a small bowl and mix well.

4. Open package of crescent rolls and put two triangles together to form a rectangle. Press perforations with your fingers until they are sealed. Repeat for remaining rolls until you have 4 rectangles.

5. Divide sausage mixture evenly among the 4 crescent roll rectangles and spread mixture over rectangles, leaving a 1/4 inch edge on all four sides.

6. Starting with the short sides, roll each rectangle jelly roll style and pinch seams to seal. Cut each roll into 6 slices. You will see the pinwheel shape when they are cut.

7. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and place pinwheels cut side down. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pinwheels are golden brown.

8. Serve warm or cold, but refrigerate any leftovers.
