Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 8 breakfast sausage links
- 8 slices of cheddar cheese
Dough:
- 1 package crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F (190C) for optimal baking conditions.
- Gently unfurl the crescent roll dough, carefully separating each triangle on a clean work surface.
- Position a single sausage link diagonally across the wider end of each triangle, accompanied by a slice of cheese.
- Carefully roll the dough from the wider end toward the pointed tip, ensuring the sausage and cheese are fully enclosed.
- Arrange the rolled crescents on a non-stick baking sheet, maintaining slight spacing between each roll.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the pastry achieves a rich golden-brown color and appears crisp and puffy.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, which helps the filling stabilize and prevents potential burns.
- Serve immediately while the rolls are warm, with the cheese melted and sausage perfectly heated through.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality breakfast sausages to enhance the overall flavor and texture of the crescent rolls.
- Use shredded cheese instead of sliced for more even melting and better distribution throughout the roll.
- Brush the tops with egg wash before baking to achieve a golden, glossy exterior that looks professionally made.
- For a healthier version, substitute pork sausage with turkey sausage and use reduced-fat crescent roll dough and cheese.
