Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 count)
- 8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
Optional Ingredients
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, halved
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Assemble the Rolls: If using cheese, place a half slice of cheddar cheese on the wider end of each crescent roll dough triangle to add a layer of creamy flavor.
- Add the Sausage: Place one fully cooked sausage link on top of the cheese or directly on the dough if skipping cheese. This forms the savory center of the roll.
- Roll Up the Dough: Starting at the wide end, roll the dough tightly around the sausage towards the narrow end, ensuring the sausage is fully enclosed.
- Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled rolls on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the sausage crescent rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm with optional maple syrup for dipping to enhance the sweet and savory experience.

- You can substitute sausage links with breakfast sausage patties if preferred.
- Adding cheese is optional but recommended for extra flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent roll dough if available.
