Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 count)
- 8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
- Optional: 4 slices cheddar cheese, halved
- Optional: Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the crescent dough: Preheat your oven according to the crescent dough package instructions, usually around 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
- Assemble the rolls: If using cheddar cheese, place half a slice on the wider end of each dough triangle. Then, place one fully cooked breakfast sausage link on top of the cheese or directly on the dough if not using cheese.
- Roll and seal: Starting from the wider end, roll the dough over the sausage towards the pointy end, sealing the edges gently to keep the sausage enclosed.
- Bake the rolls: Place the assembled rolls on an ungreased baking sheet with the seam side down. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve the sausage crescent rolls warm, optionally with maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
- Use fully cooked sausage links to reduce overall cooking time and ensure food safety.
- For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of herbs or a dash of hot sauce inside before rolling.
- These can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving to save time on busy mornings.
- Maple syrup is optional but adds a nice sweetness that complements the savory sausage and cheese.
