Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 breakfast sausage links (fully cooked)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
  • 2 large eggs (optional, for egg wash or scrambling inside)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (if making scrambled eggs)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Optional Fillings:

Instructions

🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • If using raw sausage, cook them until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
  • Optional: Scramble eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper until soft-set.

🌀 Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

  • Unroll the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface.
  • Separate into 8 pre-cut triangles.

🧀 Step 3: Fill and Assemble

  • Sprinkle each triangle with shredded cheese.
  • Add one sausage link at the wide end of the triangle.
  • Optional: Add a spoonful of scrambled eggs or additional fillings.
  • Roll each triangle tightly from the wide end to the point, encasing the sausage and fillings.

🥚 Step 4: Add Egg Wash (Optional)

  • Beat one egg and lightly brush over the tops of the rolls for a shiny, golden finish.

🔥 Step 5: Bake

  • Place the wrapped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.
