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 roll dough triangle. This adds a creamy, cheesy layer that melts as the rolls bake.
- Add Sausage: Place one fully cooked breakfast sausage link on top of the cheese or directly on the dough if not using cheese. Make sure it’s positioned near the wider end for easier rolling.
- Roll the Dough: Starting at the wide end, carefully roll the dough around the sausage, tucking the edge underneath to seal the crescent roll and secure the sausage inside.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the wrapped sausage rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased surface. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally drizzling with maple syrup for a sweet contrast to the savory sausage and cheese.
Notes
- Use fully cooked sausage links to ensure safety and shorten cooking time.
- Cheddar cheese is optional but adds great flavor and moisture.
- Maple syrup pairs beautifully to add a touch of sweetness to the savory rolls.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a quick breakfast.
- Check package instructions for crescent roll dough cooking times as oven temperatures may vary slightly.
