Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 breakfast sausage links (cooked)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the crescent roll dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
- Add the filling: Sprinkle a little shredded cheese on the wider end of each crescent roll triangle. Place a cooked sausage link on top of the cheese.
- Roll it up: Starting from the wide end, roll up the crescent roll dough over the sausage and cheese, tucking in the edges slightly as you roll to keep the filling secure.
- Brush with butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the top of each rolled crescent.
- Bake: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
- Garnish (optional): Sprinkle dried parsley over the top for a pop of color and extra flavor.
- Cool and serve: Let the rolls cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm!
