Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 count)
- 8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
Optional Ingredients
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, halved
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Assemble the Rolls: If using cheese, place a half slice of cheddar cheese on the wider end of each crescent dough triangle. This will help add creamy flavor to your rolls.
- Add Sausage: Place one fully cooked breakfast sausage link on top of the cheese or directly on the dough if not using cheese.
- Wrap and Seal: Starting at the wider end of the triangle, roll the dough around the sausage tightly and shape it into a crescent roll. Pinch edges to seal.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the wrapped sausage rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. Optionally drizzle with maple syrup for a perfect sweet and savory breakfast.
Notes
- Use fully cooked sausage links to reduce cooking time and ensure the sausage is safely heated through.
- Cheddar cheese adds a savory creaminess but can be omitted for a simpler roll.
- Maple syrup complements the sausage rolls for a classic breakfast flavor pairing.
- Serve immediately for best texture; reheating may make the crescent dough less flaky.
- Can be made ahead and baked fresh when needed.
