Ingredients:
- 1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent rolls
- 8 breakfast sausage links, fully cooked
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations.
- Place a sausage link at the wide end of each triangle. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage.
- Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the narrow end, encasing the sausage link completely. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of each roll with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
These Crescent Sausage Rolls are best served warm and can be paired with your favorite dipping sauces, like mustard or ketchup, for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy!
