Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 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 crumbled breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain any 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 the cooked sausage in the center of each crescent roll triangle. Top each 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 well to seal the filling inside.
- Egg Wash: Brush the beaten egg over the surface of each roll to give them a glossy, golden finish after baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm for a savory and satisfying breakfast treat.
Notes
- Make sure to drain excess fat from the sausage to prevent soggy crescent rolls.
- Feel free to add spices like garlic powder or paprika to the sausage for extra flavor.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese such as pepper jack or mozzarella.
- For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
