Ingredients
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, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain 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 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 to seal the filling inside.
- Egg Wash: Brush each roll with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy your savory breakfast sausage crescent rolls!
Notes
- Make sure to drain the cooked sausage well to prevent soggy rolls.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some herbs like parsley or chives on top before baking.
