Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent rolls
  • 8 breakfast sausage links
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
  • Optional dipping sauces: maple syrup, mustard, ketchup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into triangles.
  3. Wrap the Sausages: Place a sausage link on the wide end of each triangle. If using cheese, sprinkle some on top of the sausage. Roll up the sausage in the crescent roll, tucking the ends underneath.
  4. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the rolled-up sausages with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds if desired.
  5. Bake: Place the wrapped sausages on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the sausages are cooked through.
  6. Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve with your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy!

  • Adjust the Seasoning: Feel free to add some herbs or spices to the sausage or crescent rolls for extra flavor.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare these the night before and refrigerate them overnight. Just pop them in the oven in the morning.
  • Freeze Leftovers: These freeze beautifully. Just let them cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
