Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- You can add a little sautéed onion or bell peppers to the sausage for extra flavor.
- For a lighter version, you can use turkey sausage or reduce the cheese.
