Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage while breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Assemble the Rolls: Place a spoonful of cooked sausage in the center of each crescent roll triangle. Top each with a pinch of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll and Seal: Roll up the dough starting from the wide end of each triangle, forming a crescent shape. Pinch the edges firmly to seal the filling inside.
- Egg Wash: Brush each roll with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish when baked.
- Bake: Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the sausage crescent rolls warm and enjoy a flavorful, hearty breakfast treat.
Notes
- Ensure the sausage is fully cooked and drained well to avoid soggy dough.
- Customize the filling by adding diced onions, bell peppers, or your favorite spices to the sausage.
- Use sharp cheddar or any cheese of your choice for different flavor profiles.
- For a shiny finish, brush the rolls with egg wash right before baking.
- These rolls can be made ahead and reheated for a quick breakfast option.
